gnupg2

GNU privacy guard - a free PGP replacement (dummy transitional package)

GnuPG is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage. It can be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures. It includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as described in RFC4880. This is a dummy transitional package that provides symlinks from gpg2 to gpg.

It includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as described in RFC4880. This package contains the agent program gpg-agent which handles all secret key material for OpenPGP and S/MIME use.

Without this package, trying to do secret-key operations with any part of the modern GnuPG suite will fail.

gnupg

GNU privacy guard - a free PGP replacement

GnuPG is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage. It can be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures. It includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as described in RFC 4880. GnuPG 1.4 is the standalone, non-modularized series. In contrast to the version 2 series, shipped with the gnupg2 package, it comes with no support for S/MIME and some other tools useful for desktop environments, but also with less dependencies. The gnupg package is built without libcurl. So it does not support HKPS keyservers. Install the gnupg-curl package if you want to use the keyserver helper tools built with libcurl and supporting HKPS.

Installation of latest gpg-agent command is available for Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Kali, CentOS, Fedora and Raspbian. You can copy the command for your OS from above and paste it into your terminal. Once you run the command it will download the 2024 latest package from the repository and install it in your computer/server.
