How to check whether GnuPG has been fixed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   GnuPG is the most prominent user of Libksba and it is not immediately
   visible whether a fixed version of Libksba is used. To check this run:

   ,----
   | gpgconf --show-versions
   `----

   and watch out for a line like

   ,----
   | * KSBA 1.6.2 (xxxxx)
   `----

   If you see a version number of 1.6.2 or newer, you got the fix.


Debian fix kept the old version number 1.5.0-3, though:
