GnuPG 2.2 provides several utilities that are used by mail clients, such as Kmail and Balsa, including OpenPGP and S/MIME support. GnuPG 2.2 has a different architecture than GnuPG 1.4 in that it splits up functionality into several modules. However, both versions may be installed alongside without any conflict. The advantage of GnuPG-1 is its smaller size and the lack of dependency on other modules at run and build time.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
