bug#42845: closed (27.1; Regression regarding supported gnupg versions)

[APEL Martin]

Thanks for your reply. I understand the original intention of the check. But on 
the other hand I have used this setup at least since Emacs 24 and it worked 
perfectly for handling an authinfo file, even with this somewhat outdated 
version, that CentOS 7 provides. This stricter handling of versions prevents 
the upgrade to Emacs 27.1 on CentOS 7, if this functionality is needed. There I 
would like to recommend to check, if the version restrictions can be lessened 
somewhat, such that a previously working setup continues to work. Unfortunately 
it's a major hassle to upgrade libgnupg and all its dependencies on CentOS 7, 
which I see as an often-used distribution.
For myself, I circumvented the problem by hacking the source code, but this may 
not be solution for other users.

Thanks for your efforts,

Martin
