[[!comment format=mdwn username="spwhitton" subject="comment 2" date="2015-02-04T21:33:41Z" content=""" The `core.gcrypt-id` on the remote and local is correctly set (to the same thing) and `git.remote.ma.annex-gcrypt` (I assume you meant this and not `git.remote.ma.gcrypt`) on my local machine is indeed set to `true`. And the remote seems to work for all purposes I've tried to use it for. So I guess I'm okay. There is an older version in `/usr/bin` as you suggest: 3.20120523. I don't know why I didn't notice this myself before I installed the standalone build. Thank you for taking the time to reply. """]]
