I just wanted to set up to send an encrypted message, so I went to generate a public/private key pair using gpg on C 6.
Version 2.0.14, copyright 2009?
Isn’t there something newer than 10 years old?

Don’t mistake copyright for build date.
Try:
“rpm -qfi $(which gpg)” for your answer.

Well CentOS-6 is nearing 8 years old.. and gpg is a core tool which isn’t going to get a lot of updates which might break RPM and other tools which rely on the version that was done in 2009. So the versions are going to be old. If you need some sort of newer feature you need to compile a version for yourself in /usr/local or use a newer EL
Don’t mistake build date for change date:
head -n 1 $(rpm -qfd $(which gpg) | grep ChangeLog)
