Hello all, I have just done a clean install of Debian 8.0 on an i7-4790K with 16 GB RAM. I am trying to install GNUPG 2.1.4 (I have this thing about wanting the latest version… call me crazy)
I have done this before in Debian Wheezy. I install all of the latest libraries (in order), and the install GnuPg 2.1 The problem is that Debian 8.0 (Jessie) comes with GnuPG version 2.0.26 It appears that when I go through the motions of installing 2.1.4, it leaves things untouched. after I’m done: #gpg2 —version returns: 2.0.26 And then I read that 2.0.26 and 2.1.4 cannot co-exist. OK, so now I am trying to remove 2.0.26 However, when I try to remove it using package manager it wants to also remove a whole host of other software. So I tried using apt-get remove gnupg I get an ominous warning that the following packages will be REMOVED apt apt-listchanges apt-utils gnome gnupg python-reporting... etc. etc. This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing (which I don’t) apt gnupg (due to apt) 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed , 14 to remove, and 0 not upgraded You are about to do something potentially harmful Type: Yes, do as I say! Question: Will all this stuff reinstall itself when I re-install GnuPG 2.1.4? Is there any way to do a targeted removal of 2.0.26 to make room for 2.1.4 without removing all the other things? Is there a way to UPGRADE from 2.0.26 to the latest version (2.1.4)? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Rex Kneisley re...@me.com 818-429-7472 Want to keep your emails private? Ask me how.
