What happened is that you didn't upgrade gnorpm. The version now posted
has the same version and release number as the previous version that was
posted, but something about the compilation is incompatible. Call me
silly, but I thought this was exactly the kind of issue that *changing*
version/release numbers was supposed to avoid.

Uninstall your gnorpm and install the new one.

I'm having an additional problem since upgrading: I can nolonger open
files with their associated application in gmc. I get an error message
"cannot open <file> with <application>".
