[Pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#536768: cannot use hashes other than SHA1 with smartcard

[Simon Richter]

Package: gnupg
Version: 1.4.9-4
Severity: normal

Hi,

attempting to use any hash other than SHA1 fails:

gpg: detected reader `Towitoko Chipdrive Reader 00 00'
gpg: card does not support digest algorithm SHA256
gpg: signing failed: invalid argument
gpg: signing failed: invalid argument

I'd like to migrate to a stronger hash soonish, this makes things difficult
however.
