All this regressed with libgnupg-interface-perl_0.52-4. Presumably the
test suite now exercises gnupg2 instead of gnupg1 for the parts using
GnuPG::Interface (= most of the actual GnuPG related functionality.)

There seem to be at least hardcoded gnupg error messages in the test
suite that probably need changing:

  like( $warnings[0], qr{signing failed: secret key not available},

Not sure if RT::Crypt::GnuPG is going to require some porting too.

Help untangling this mess would be very welcome, as both Dominic and I
are rather short on time. Tagging and copying possible candidates :)

(BTW there's also a missing build dependency on tzdata that can create
additional failures for clean chroots.)
