Sorry to jump in here, but gpg is *not* useful in terms of pkg management for the average user as long as debs are not auto-checked on install by dpkg. (And this in turn, of course, is not going to happen until a properly defined trust infrastructure is in place, probably with a 'Debian master key' or something like that.) cheers -- vbi -- secure email with gpg http://fortytwo.ch/gpg
