in regards to this my statement and your reply: > ' > that should mean that it isn't in debian either ??!!
uh? **since Devuan uses Debian as a package source, in that my 'apt-get' reports no package -- then I assume it is not in Debian either ' 'but to get to the meat of the issue regarding getting gpg; I read the d1h article and decided to get all the pre-requisites and tried: [you mentioned gpg] '******* I attempted to apt-get d1h and gpg on the same command line. gpg wasn't available so I did d1h by itself and then gpg by itself gpg wasn't available *** so as a somewhat experienced newbie , I have done this:: olzeke51@devuan:~/builds/fcroner/fcron$ sudo apt-get install gpg [sudo] password for olzeke51: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package gpg <<<-----the trigger to me & email **after the fact* olzeke51@devuan:~/builds/fcroner/fcron$ sudo apt-get install gnupg Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done gnupg is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 92 not upgraded. olzeke51@devuan:~/builds/fcroner/fcron$ olzeke51@devuan:~/builds/fcroner/fcron$ which gpg /usr/bin/gpg olzeke51@devuan:~/builds/fcroner/fcron$ which gnupg ******* 1)I didn't do 'which gpg' originally - it would have shown availability 2)[linux quirk] you need to install 'gnupg' to end up with 'gpg' 3) therefore - 'which' information isn't the whole picture ** I learned something!! ' 'Thanks for your time - GaryZ
