GnuPG 2.1.0 "modern" released

Well, I installed it, and aptitude removes dirmngr while it's at it.

gpg2 --refresh-keys complains about a missing /usr/bin/dirmngr, though. Reinstalling dirmngr, gpg2 --refresh-keys then "IPC connect call failed" when trying to connect to dirmngr. --refresh-keys is unusable.

No obvious google results, apart from a mailing list entry that dirmngr is mandatory.

It sounds like you might have the wrong version of dirmngr installed? gnupg2 from experimental Recommends: dirmngr >= 2.1.0~.

LWN is not a great place to report bugs in debian packaging, though. Would you mind opening a bug in the debian BTS where we can follow up with further details?
