Well, it should say that gcrypt 1.5.x contains flawed Whirlpool which can open
old header files.
The 1.6.0 and later fixed Whirlpool.
FAQ should be probably more clear here...

The change for this is done now.

There are sill references to wrong version numbers around. Also I think 1.5.4
is going to be the last release of the 1.5 series.

Ohh nevermind 2016-12-31 is the EOL for 1.5 series so maybe they backport the
fix later.

I think that is what may have happened. 1.5.4 was not out (the FTP-server
date is 07-Aug-14), so when I wrote the FAQ item, "later than 1.5.3" meant
in fact "1.6.0 and above".
Fixed and noted that the latest known 1.5.x version when FAQ Item 8.3 was
written is 1.5.4.
The important thing is to have that FAQ item. Corrections _are_
welcome, my ego is not so large that I think I know everything ;-)
Can you have a brief look at Item 8.3 whether it is correct and clear now?

s/war/was/g ;) Other than that it makes more sense now. Thanks for the fix as
Gentoo is redirecting it's users to it (in expectation of the stabilization of
the 1.6 series of gcrypt sooner or later).

Thanks ;-)
There is nothing wrong with Gentoo redirecting to the FAQ. This way it is
useful to a wider audience and bugs get spotted earlier.
I did not find the reference from Gentoo though, have a link?

I do, I reported the issue here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=525208
The ebuild (read compilation and installation script if you aren't familiar
with Gentoo)
http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/sys-fs/cryptsetup/crypts
etup-1.6.6.ebuild?revision=1.9&view=markup has a warning message when enabling
the gcrypt backend.

Thanks. I have been looking into Gentoo but are not too familiar with it yet.
