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.
