There is nothing wrong; it was split up from a single monolithic package
into libgcrypt (documentation), libgcrypt11 (runtime), and
libgcrypt-devel (headers and import libs).  This is the standard way for
a library to be packaged.

However, what is incorrect is that all packages that previously listed
libgcrypt in their 'requires' now need to list libgcrypt11.  Or,
libgcrypt should 'require' libgcrypt11, which seems to be necessary
regardless of anything else since it includes the /usr/bin/dumpsexp
binary which needs the gcrypt DLL.
