* SECURITY UPDATE: Fix potential signature verification bypass.
* Add debian/patches/23_verify_exit_code.dpatch:
- Security fix for a verification weakness in gpgv. Some input
could lead to gpgv exiting with 0 even if the detached signature
file did not carry any signature. This is not as fatal as it
might seem because the suggestion as always been not to rely on
th exit code but to parse the --status-fd messages. However it
is likely that gpgv is used in that simplified way and thus we
do this release. Same problem with "gpg --verify" but nobody
should have used this for signature verification without
checking the status codes anyway.
- Upstream patch from 1.4.2.1.
- CVE-2006-0455
