Description

Build fails during the "make check" portion.

./gpg_dearmor > ./pubring.gpg < ./pubring.asc
gpg: conversion from utf-8' to 646' not available
gmake[2]: * [pubring.gpg] Error 2
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/nwr/gnupg-1.4.0/checks'
gmake[1]: * [all-recursive] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/nwr/gnupg-1.4.0'
gmake: *** [all] Error 2

Fix

Check your locale and make sure that it has been set to an 8 bit character set.

We are looking for ways to make this message non fatal - however for a plain ASCII (646) system it won't be possible to convert OpenPGP output to it as it is defined as utf-8 and might very well contain 8 bit characters.

Release Note

Stay tuned for the next release
