I think you do not need to uninstall gnupg installed by Debian. What you need is to remove files under /usr/local. Usually, $PATH is /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/sbin:/sbin this means one on /usr/local/bin wins over /usr/bin or /bin. # make uninstall may be what you need. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
