Details

An updated gnupg package that fixes a bug is now available.

GnuPG is a utility for encrypting data and creating digital signatures.

This package addresses the following bug:

* When the gpg command was used to decrypt multiple files using the
"--multifile --decrypt" (or "--decrypt-files") arguments, gpg would
incorrectly indicate that the result (multiple unencrypted items) was
an error. Gpg now correctly displays the result without error.

Users of gnupg should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
this issue.
