You are right. It's libqgpgme.so.7 only. Then the list of the packages is
indeed shorter. Though I still think that it's inappropriate to break the
soname in Fedoras < Rawhide.

Funilly, kdepimlibs-gpgme already provides a copy of an older libqgpgme.so.1.

If Jiri really want to rebase the library in stable Fedoras, creating
a compatibility package with libqgpgme.so.7 there could be a way to go.
