It’s Friday, and apparently there is a bug in #Libgcrypt; I suspect this means that #Infosec Twitter will spend all day pointlessly pouring scorn upon #PGP & #GnuPG & #GPG. Does anyone have any happy news?

A severe bug was reported yesterday evening against Libgcrypt 1.9.0
which we released last week.  A new version to fix this as weel as a
couple of build problems will be released today.

In the meantime please stop using 1.9.0.

It seems that Fedora 34 and Gentoo are already using 1.9.0 .
