libgcrypt - how to find old version?

Hello.

I`m trying to install libgcrypt.so.11. But all packagesI found had libgcrypt.so, libgcrypt.so.20 or libgcrypt.so.0.11.
How can I install libgcrypt.so.11?

What do you need it for?
Is libgcrypt.so.0.11 the same as libgcrypt.so.11?

Find an old libgcrypt package somewhere - this page should help.

Downgrading is never a good solution though, it's just a workaround. What do you need such an old lib for?

Ideally, you should be looking to update the package(s) that require the old libgcrypt to work with the new libgcrypt files (or get the maintainer to do it).

I believe libgcrypt.so.11 is the filename for the old gcrypt version 1.5. You can install it from the AUR in parallel to the current 1.6.

Surprisingly, it was on my system :? Try installing it from the AUR

ewaller$@$odin ~ 1014 %locate libgcrypt.so             
/usr/lib/libgcrypt.so
/usr/lib/libgcrypt.so.11
/usr/lib/libgcrypt.so.11.8.2
/usr/lib/libgcrypt.so.20
/usr/lib/libgcrypt.so.20.0.2
/usr/lib32/libgcrypt.so
/usr/lib32/libgcrypt.so.20
/usr/lib32/libgcrypt.so.20.0.2
ewaller$@$odin ~ 1015 %pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libgcrypt.so.11         
/usr/lib/libgcrypt.so.11 is owned by libgcrypt15 1.5.3-1
