Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gpgsm

After a LOT of hunting around, I figured out why I can't use my VeriSign
Digital ID to do S/MIME with KMail.

When I try to import VeriSign's PCA1ss_v4.509 (downloaded from
http://www.verisign.com/support/roots.html) with gpgsm, I get these
messages:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/VeriSign_Roots$ gpgsm --import PCA1ss_v4.509
gpgsm: unknown hash algorithm `1.2.840.113549.1.1.2'
gpgsm: (this is the MD2 algorithm)
gpgsm: self-signed certificate has a BAD signature: General error
gpgsm: basic certificate checks failed - not imported
gpgsm: total number processed: 1
gpgsm:           not imported: 1
secmem usage: 0/16384 bytes in 0 blocks

gpgsm doesn't like MD2 for some reason, so Kleopatra doesn't see a valid
certificate chain for my personal cert, so I can't use it for S/MIME.

On a related note, Kleopatra should say something about this error,
rather than waiting for me to sign something in KMail and then saying
"General error"... but I guess that's a different bug.
