• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

p.s.  A few hours too late we found a bug in the cURL based helper
programs which makes cURL based LDAP support unusable.  Given that
--with-libcurl is not the default we did not offtake the release but
ask you to apply the patch below.

It's now 1.5 months later. gnupg 1.4.2 should be stable now, don't you think? It
was released in July. JMHO, thanks.
