Subject: bug#380: gnupg version has security hole; easy to upgrade

Package: gnupg

The version of gnupg listed in CVS has a recently-discovered security hole. Upgrading it to the latest version (which doesn't have the security hole) is easy:

In Makefile let:
GARVERSION = 1.2.2

and in checksums:
01cf9c6b949603d0511f6fc07bc758d2 download/gnupg-1.2.2.tar.gz

When I tested these modifications on my machine, things built and tested fine.
