Robert neither wrote nor implied this. The lesson you should learn from Robert is that you should not blindly install the version with the higher version number, but that you should first get some information about the difference between the two versions in order to find out whether you really need the one with the higher version number. With respect to the differences between GnuPG 1.4 and GnuPG 2.0 please refer to the archive of this mailing list, e.g. read Werner Koch's announcement of GnuPG 2.0 [1]. The website (www.gnupg.org) is pretty cryptic about the difference. All it says is GnuPG comes in two flavours: 1.4.9 is the well known and portable standalone version, whereas 2.0.9 is the enhanced and somewhat harder to build version. This text could be improved. Or it could link to a page explaining the difference because this is obviously an FAQ. Unfortunately the FAQ hasn't been updated since July 30, 2003.
