Bug#643933: GPG keysize must be greater than 1024 bits



Package: developers-reference
Version: 3.4.6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


Keyring maintainers explicitly asked to provide GPG keys greater than

Attached patch should solve this, by rephrasing the sentence stating
keys must be greater than 1024 bits.
