    Thus spake Ivo Gandolfo <[email protected]>

    INN2 come with gpg1, to be sure to remove gpg1 and install gpg2, with
    library libgcrypt version 1.10.1, in other case some new signature
    you're unable to certify (on my system ubuntu 22.04, the old library
    don't support a lot of new signature).

    PMFJI, but INN does not include any version of GnuPG:

    "If not already done, install GnuPG, or an equivalent implementation
    of the OpenPGP standard, to be able to verify the signature of NoCeM
    notices. It will provide the gpg and gpgv programs. If GnuPG was
    already installed when INN was configured, then the paths to these
    programs were taken into account. Otherwise, you have to set the
    $gpg and $gpgv variables in pathlib/perl/INN/Config.pm to the paths
    to these programs."

    https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/docs/perl-nocem.html

    I assume that the Debian/Ubuntu packages for INN have a dependency on gpg1,
    but it's perfectly OK to have both gpg1 and gpg2 installed, as long
    as you make sure pathlib/perl/INN/Config.pm contains the correct
    paths.
