Salutations,

The update to libgcrypt-1.6.0 has fixed the issue.

However, I suggest an announcement on the website regarding this
problem. I had three issues when trying to solve this problem:
1) the mirror I was using wasn't up to date (still had
libgcrypt-1.5.3-1)
2) I can't run 'pacman -Syu' after upgrading all the other packages that
relied on libgcrypt since my gpg keys were broken due to the missing
libgcrypt.so.20. Hence, libgcrypt-1.6.0 should be pulled first before
updating any other package that relies on it.
3) Failure to update libgcrypt before other packages resulted in a
kernel that seemed to be hung at booting.

Regards,
Mark
