slackpkg gpg problems
I have gnupg installed, yet slackpkg always claims it cannot be found and thus gpg verification fails on packages.
Do I have to do anything special to get slackpkg to use gnupg?
I have tried reinstalling/updating from solutions in other threads, but they did not work for me.

Check that your time and date are correct.
Also make sure you don't have a slackpkg.conf.new that might need putting in it's correct place.

There is also a gnupg-1.4.10
You should have that installed too. |

Yes, pointing towards the correct mirror.
Why do I need both versions of gnupg. Is that not redundant?
