Re: Can the legacy HAVE_LIBGCRYPT_AEAD check be removed?

Well, next time I touch the code  I’ll certainly check whether it compiles with LIBGCRYPT_AEAD #undefined to spare you 
from another fix 😉

Hi,
yep, RHEL7 is still widely used, sadly :/
I have been correcting this ifdef a couple of times now.. 
https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/commits/master?search=LIBGCRYPT_AEAD

This since my dev env has not yet seen the light of RHEL8

Thanks for your reply, which crossed mine. Well, if it's still widely used by RHEL/CentOS 7, then there is nothing I 
can do about it at the moment.
