I was supposed to copy the pubring.asc...not pubring.gpg. Also, another quicky here...I installed the gnupg-1.0.6 update, but it didn't 'really' install. If I tried to sign something, it always showed up as 1.0.4, so I tried the Mandrake updater, and got it installed, but I didn't check on the mark to 'upgrade' (overwrites the 'old' version?). Anyone know how to uninstall the old version without having to reinstall all the dependancies it wants to take with it? Sorry for hittin' all the branches of the idiot tree when I fell out of it yesterday <sigh>, but I really am trying hard to get this system up and running once and for all.
