Synopsis:	Moderate: libgcrypt update
Issue date:	2010-03-30

gnutls-1.4.1-3.el5_4.8 is a moderate security update that required
/usr/libm/libgcrypt.so.11 to have the symbol gcry_cipher_setkey
This is only available in the newer libgcrypt that was released with
SL 5.4.
This update updates libgcrypt in the older SL 5 releases so that
the gnutls security update works correctly.

SL 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3

 i386:
libgcrypt-1.4.4-5.el5.i386.rpm
libgcrypt-devel-1.4.4-5.el5.i386.rpm
 x86_64:
libgcrypt-1.4.4-5.el5.i386.rpm
libgcrypt-1.4.4-5.el5.x86_64.rpm
libgcrypt-devel-1.4.4-5.el5.i386.rpm
libgcrypt-devel-1.4.4-5.el5.x86_64.rpm
