+Due to a bug in the way secret keys were encrypted in versions prior
+to 0.3.3, later version of gnupg are not backwards compatible and you
+will have to convert your secret keys before using old secret keys
+with recent versions of gnupg.
+
+The upgrade strategy is described in /usr/doc/gnupg/NEWS.gz, please
+refer to it for more details, but it requires an old copy of the gpg
+and gpgm binaries. They may be on your system as gpg.old and
+gpgm.old, but if they're not you can find gnupg 0.3.2 source and
+binaries for i386, m68k, alpha, powerpc and hurd-i386 at:
