Package: dar
Version: 2.4.0-1
Severity: important

As of today, dar in sid refuses to create encrypted backups:

  root@usha:~# dar -g tmp -c foo -N -K foo
  Aborting program. The requested operation needs a feature that has been 
disabled at compilation time: Missing strong encryption support (libgcrypt)

It was working about 1 month ago and for sure it works in Squeeze --- I
routinely backup Squeeze machines with dar and I do that with encrypted backups
produced by dar itself.

Is strong encryption support gone for good? Debian's changelog doesn't mention
that so it might be a default change happened upstream at compile time? (sorry,
I haven't checked).  Is it possible to have back strong encryption support in
Debian's dar?

Many thanks in advance, and thanks for maintaining dar!
Cheers.
