12 Half way right: in this case, gnupg-1.4.6 *is* a related package. If you
13 have gnupg in world, and tell portage to --update world, it will update
14 the highest slot version of gnupg, in this case 1.9. Only when you say
15 --deep, it will go for the other slots, too, *if* something else still
16 depends on them.

18 See the original GLSAs for reference - the first GLSA used --update
19 gnupg, the second corrected GLSA said --update =gnupg-1.4* or something
20 equivalent (all from memory).
