If both pgp5 and pgp-2.6.3 are installed, then rpm should use pgp-2.6.2 since the majority of packages are signed using that version of pgp and will not verify using pgp5. The fix will be to remove the silly test (i.e. adding a v to the value of %_pgpbin) and add a framework much like the support for gnupg. Howvere, because of license issues with pgp5, this is not a high priority.If both pgp5 and pgp-2.6.3 are installed, then rpm should use pgp-2.6.2 since the majority of packages are signed using that version of pgp and will not verify using pgp5.

Howvere, because of license issues with pgp5, this is not a high priority. I don't understand the section on "will not verify using pgp5". PGP IS backward compatible, and PGP 5 can very well verify a PGP 2-signed package. At least the version I have installed! Patch applied. Thanks for prodding me enough to verify that pgp5 indeed verifies pgp2.6.3 signed binaries. |
