Some people on debian-security thought gpg had problems with some keys, but couldn't cite anything concrete. However, people are using pgp, and one user mailed me to thank me for maintaining it, so I'm happy to keep maintaining it (at least once the non-US/non-free queue is fixed).

Bug#237370: pgp5i
After asking on debian-security, it appears that there is still a demand for pgp in debian. Although gpg provides a superset of features, it doesn't have IDEA support compiled in (it is patent-encumbered) but pgp, as it is non-US/non-free, can still support IDEA. Packages of pgp5i are at http://nessie.mcc.ac.uk/~ianb/debian/ I will attempt to find a sponsor to get a version with FTBFS fixes into sarge, and then post-sarge upgrade the package to 6.5.8 and rename it to pgpi.

Can you explain what is pgp5 able to do which gnupg and the IDEA plugin do not support? -- ciao, | Marco | [8251 opBM/QuB2q.Jo]
