Thank you very much, David. Our other server is having 1.4.5 and to be consistent want to go from 1.2.6 to 1.4.5.
Can I go ahead and update gnupg from 1.2.6 to 1.4.5 on "Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 5)"? Is 1.4.5 compatible with this Linux version? I did not find any information regarding this compatibility. Thank you, Anil.
