Bug#741959: multiple providers of libgcrypt-dev

Package: libgcrypt20
Version: 1.6.1-1

Dear maintainer,

In unstable the virtual package "libgcrypt-dev" is now provided by
both libgcrypt11-dev and libgcrypt20-dev. Because of this "apt-get
build-dep" doesn't work for packages build-depending on libgcrypt-dev,
such as openldap and xorg-server: apt asks for a provider to be
explicitly selected.

In IRC, jcristau told me that this is libgcrypt's fault and that the
virtual package should have only one provider, so I'm filing this
against libgcrypt20 which introduced the second provider.

Thanks,
Ryan
