Good morning,

sure. - Find attached both key data and encypted test data.

Tried that. However Debian's rnp seems to be very accomodating, I have
failed to generate a key/encrypted data taht it could not decrypt. I also
tried with 2.4.4 unpatched both with default keytype and rsa/rsa.

===========================
testit at argenau:~$ rnp --decrypt  < encrypted/enc_for_2.4.4+unpatched.rsa\@example.com_with_2.4.4+unpatched.asc
