Packages
Update the libgcrypt spkg to libgcrypt-1.4.3.p0.spkg (Michael Abshoff) -- Originally based on Gnu Privacy Guard (GnuPG), libgcrypt is a general purpose library of cryptographic primitives. As such, it does not provide an implementation of any cryptographic protocols, but rather serves as a collection of cryptographic building blocks.
Update the Python spkg to python-2.5.2.p9.spkg (Michael Abshoff) -- Python is a general purpose, object oriented programming language. Together with various other open source components, Python serves as a fundamental tool that unify the components of Sage under a common interface.
