Hello,

Since I'm not sure what's the problem, I'm writing here.

Today, I tried to fetch key by gpg --recv-key and it failed because
libksba was too old (I had 1.3.3 installed).

I think that libksba was not updated correctly.

I saw Debian packaging of gnupg and it correctly has the field of

	Build-Depends: libksba-dev (>= 1.3.4)

However, as the information in this page

     https://packages.debian.org/experimental/dirmngr

The binary package dirmngr depends on libksba8 (>= 1.2.0).

     dep: libksba8 (>= 1.2.0)
        X.509 and CMS support library


Is it a bug of dirmngr or libksba8?


I search where (>= 1.2.0) comes from.  I located it's in the
debian/rules file of libksba package.

    override_dh_makeshlibs:
	dh_makeshlibs -V "libksba8 (>= 1.2.0)"
