Hi John,

can you put the failing log file parts in here for reference?
(https://github.com/roundup-tracker/roundup/actions/runs/11767117283/job/32775443731
has meanwhile expired and you seem to have removed the code in questions for newer runs.)

> 'pip download gpg' fails

Unfortunately the pip package was never official.
The history of this is referred to in the first posts of 
   https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2023-January/thread.html

Debian still ships gpgme, see
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libgpgme
e.g. https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/libgpgme-dev

I'll see further how the current GnuPG python bindings
can be build on current Ubuntu and Debian systems and get back here.

Regards
Bernhard
