The problem affects both version 1, in the 'gnupg' package, and version two, in the 'gnupg2' package. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.10-4+squeeze1 of gnupg and version 2.0.19-2+squeeze1 of gnupg2. For the testing distribution (wheezy) and unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.12-7 of gnupg and version 2.0.19-2 of gnupg2. We recommend that you upgrade your gnupg and/or gnupg2 packages.
