There is nothing to "solve" in the Debian packaging, although it could
be updated with the next release. Actually, the patch used in the
Debian packaging (at packaging/debian/patches) for the 2.0.3 release
should be fixed in the next release. The patch might seem complex but
this due to need to regenerate all the autotools/autoconf stuff. It's
actually quite simple see [1]:

This is needed or otherwise it will not build properly since the
libraries depend on gcrypt.

We have not reported this yet as a bug in the build system of
openvas-libraries, but it should be considered as such.
