--ignore-crc-error (Was: Re: GnuPG fails to import some PGP keys)

[Daniele Arena]

Hi Werner,

I just came back on my original key-loading problem after almost two
months; you said you would implement the option "--ignore-crc-error", but
I just checked out gnupg from CVS and didn't find it. Am I just dumb or
did you change your mind?

Cheers,

Daniele.
