[Pkg-privacy-maintainers] Bug#878703: Irssi: Error loading module otr/otr: libgcrypt.so.11: cannot open shared object file

[Steve Revilak]

Package: irssi-plugin-otr
Version: 1.0.2-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm writing to report a problem with irssi-plugin-otr, on a new
installation of Debian 9.2 (i386).

Attempts to load the otr module within irssi fail, with what looks
like a unsatisfied shared library dependency.  Here's the result of
typing "/load otr" into irssi's input area

19:45 -!- Irssi: Error loading module otr/otr: libgcrypt.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I would have expected irssi to respond with "Loaded module otr/otr",
or something to that effect.

Subsequent attempts to use the otr plugin (e.g., "/otr init") produce
the error message "Irssi: Unknown command: otr".

I see that debian 9.2 includes a newer version of libgcrypt, but irssi
appears to have a dependency on libgcrypt.so.11.

I tried installing the libgcrypt11-dev package.  This did not change
the behavior I've observed.
