Good day.
I saw that the version of GnuPG on Debian stable was not really up
to date and thus decided to build my own local copy from recent sources.
This went really well and I end up with :
$ uname -a
Linux styx 5.10.0-18-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.140-1 (2022-09-02) x86_64
GNU/Linux
$
$ which gpg
/home/dclarke/local/bin/gpg
$
$ gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 2.3.8

I was careful to ensure the linker set RUNPATH to a correct location :
$ readelf -delV $HOME/local/bin/gpg | grep -E 'NEED|NAME|PATH'

$
Also I did configure with --enable-all-tests and the test suite ran
perfectly.
However I see messages about some dirmngr issue :
$
$ gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --search-keys blah-blah-blah-keyid
gpg: WARNING: server 'dirmngr' is older than us (2.2.27 < 2.3.8)
gpg: Note: Outdated servers may lack important security fixes.
gpg: Note: Use the command "gpgconf --kill all" to restart them.
gpg: data source ....
There is no dirmngr binary on this machine anywhere.
$ su -
Password:
styx#
styx# cd /usr
styx# find . -type f | grep 'dirmngr' | wc -l

Why am I seeing this strange message ?
