Package: libgcrypt20-dev
Version: 1.8.6-2
Severity: important

libgcrypt20-dev is not multi-arch installable. It's not only the missing multi-
arch:same field, but the package also ships various files that are different an
different architectures.

One thing is that the -dev package ships "/usr/bin/libgcrypt-config", which
contains arch-specific information. However, it also ships a handful of helper
binaries under "usr/bin", namely "dumpsexp", "hmac256" and "mpicalc".

WINE is in the process of switching to libgcrypt, and this bug makes compiling
recent versions problematic.

The dependency libgpg-error-dev has a similar problem, see
