That's about as obtuse of an interpretation as one could have possibly come up
with. Ron is suggesting you have damaged your gnupg installation by
compiling your own gpg over it. Remove your self-compiled gpg and use gnupg
as designed.
That, like everything, is easier said than done. Gnupg is required, and
it cannot be simply uninstalled.
Mr. Cartwright, you could force a downgrade of gnupg by using
apt-pinning (documented in "man apt_preferences").
You could also download the lenny gnupg package (1.4.6-2.2) manually and
use dpkg's "--force-downgrade" option to install it.
Yet another option would be to continue to use backports, but to use a
backported version of gnupg. Probably, backports-lenny has a version of
gnupg for your system.
And yet another option would be to keep the current gnupg. If everything
is working properly, you can keep things as they are. In "Message-Id:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>," you say that "it works," so
you're probably set. Take it as a learning experience: remove backports
before upgrading to a new distribution.
