Version 1.6.5 of Mandos is released

[Teddy Hogeborn]

Version 1.6.5 of Mandos is released.  It is, in most respects, a very
minor release.  However, it has one important improvement: it works
around a bug in GnuPG which prevented key generation.

NEWS file excerpt:

Version 1.6.5 (2014-05-11)
* Client
** Work around bug in GnuPG <http://bugs.g10code.com/gnupg/issue1622>
** Give better error messages when run without sufficient privileges
** Only warn if workaround for Debian bug #633582 was necessary and
   failed, not if it failed and was unnecessary.

Debian package changes:

  * debian/copyright: Change year to "2014".
  * debian/control (Build-Depends, Build-Depends-Indep): Moved build
    dependencies of "mandos" package to "Build-Depends-Indep".
  * debian/upstream/signing-key.asc: New; upstream source public key.
  * debian/control (Standards-Version): Updated to "3.9.5".
  * debian/control (mandos/Depends): Remove the dependency on
    "avahi-daemon (>= 0.6.31-3) | systemd-sysv".  It is unnecessary
    since we have a workaround in debian/mandos.postinst anyway.

That last item deserves some explanation; this change allows users of
the backports for Debian 7.0 (wheezy) to use the Mandos server without
installing systemd, as version 1.6.2 (and older) did.

(No link to package on mentors.debian.net is provided, since Teddy is
now a Debian Maintainer, and has uploaded the package directly to Debian
unstable.)
