[...] Hello, I have got another instance in libgcrypt20 <https://bugs.debian.org/984884> but the actual error (leaving files behind) happened ages ago; the leftovers are from pre-stretch versions of libgcrypt. These leftovers trigger an error now, because the library has moved from /lib to /usr/lib in buster and ldconfig activates both the leftover and the proper copy (by adding libgcrypt.so.20 symlinks). /lib has the higher priority and wins. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
