Don't worry - thank you for importing my work!

I'll take care of it - However, I discovered  this little commit
upstream:
http://git.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gpa.git;a=commit;h=09b519bba69e91ce95652ce8dea6e515e2a74696

I will take a look at the dependencies and update accordingly if
required.

That is indeed great news!

It will be an honor! :)

You are indeed right - I will work using this model in future fixes.

best regards and thanks for your help!
