Description: 
 gnupg      - GNU privacy guard - a free PGP replacement
 gpgv-udeb  - minimal signature verification tool
Changes: 
 gnupg (1.4.2.1-0ubuntu1) dapper; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream security bugfix release, only contains the following changes:
     - Security fix for a verification weakness in gpgv.  Some input
       could lead to gpgv exiting with 0 even if the detached signature
       file did not carry any signature.  This is not as fatal as it
       might seem because the suggestion as always been not to rely on
       th exit code but to parse the --status-fd messages.  However it
       is likely that gpgv is used in that simplified way and thus we
       do this release.  Same problem with "gpg --verify" but nobody
       should have used this for signature verification without
       checking the status codes anyway. [CVE-2006-0455]
     - Added a test case for above vulnerability.
   * debian/rules: Call the test suite during build. (Will fail the build
     if the test suite fails.)
