As the person running the computers that generate the ctm deltas, I am having 
problems with using gnupgp to sign the ctm deltas that are going out.  If I use 
gnupgp-1.0.4 it works fine.  But if I use any later version, it does not work. 
Basically the command used to run gnupgp is

cat passphrase message | gpg --passphrase-fd 0 --force-v3-sigs 
--clearsign--no-secmem-warning --batch

and the response is

gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=73)
gpg: keydb_search failed: invalid packet
gpg: key C380B4D8: secret key without public key - skipped
gpg: no default secret key: secret key not available
gpg: [stdin]: clearsign failed: secret key not available

If I run gnupgp-1.0.4 I still get error messages:

Reading passphrase from file descriptor 0

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=73) near 1
gpg: read_keyblock: read error: invalid packet
gpg: enum_keyblocks failed: invalid keyring
[User id not found]"

but gnupgp still produces a signed message as its output.

I am hoping that one of you ctm users would know about this.  If not I will try 
out a gnupgp mailing list.
