Hi

Today we updated gnupg and ftpd-BSD. All versions of Trustix
Secure Linux are affected.

gnupg:
This update stops gnupg from importing private keys unless this has
been explicitly enabled, as this will corrupt the users web of
trust. It also clears up the problem with gnupg ignoring detached
signatures if the file being checked contains clearsigned data.

ftpd-BSD:
This contains a revised version of the replydirname() patch, as the
first version we released contained a typo making the ftpd behave
erratically. Thanks to Janåke Rönnblom for pointing this
out.

MD5sums:
