Description:
A new version of GnuPG, 1.0.5, has been released that fixes a
number of bugs and security problems, including a widely-publicized
vulnerability that makes it easier for the attacker to recover your
private key if they can steal your key ring. As always, the
confidentiality of your key ring is paramount to the security of
public key encryption. For a full list of everything that has
changed in this release, please see:

All Immunix OS users are encouraged to upgrade to this latest
version.
