After Werner Koch posted a small security patch for GnuPG 1.0.4 in gnupg-announce I decided it's time to compile gnupg from sources. Using Potato, I already had version 1.0.4 in use. Using "apt-get source gnupg" I fetched the most current sources, applied the patch and built gnupg_1.0.4-1_i386.deb

Are you using the 2.2.17 kernel? 2.4 has trickier soundblaster support than earlier kernels. I have a sb-16 as well. It compiled properly, you should just need to choose OSS support and the appropriate sb option, it's always worked with the defaults for resources. I found that I needed to add

I am unclear and may be totally off base, but it is my impression that proposed updates are proposed until a new release level is generated i.e., all the proposed updates after 2.2r0 would be in 2.2r2 and that stable would link to 2.2r2. Am I correct in this statement? Brooks > -Original Mes
