[Winpt-users] WinPT (GPG 1.4.3-cvs) problem

Hi!

Recently GPG changed its standard behaviour when generating keys.
The result is that the primary key is not able to sign data any more.

This is fixed in the CVS now and my release tomorrow, will also update
the gpg.exe to fix this problem.

If you recently generated a key pair, please check that the primary
key is able to sign (you can see it in the Key Edit dialog. When the
'S' column has no '*', the key is for certification only). In this
case, if you also want to generate signatures over data, it is the
best solution to add a signing subkey to the key pair which fixes
the problem.
