1.6.0 has a new SO number so there are no runtime conflicts.  However,
to avoid building problems, better de-install or overwrite the 1.5.3
development files (static library (if build), header files, and
libgcrypt-config).

If you installed 1.5.3 yourself, simply installing 1.6.0 should do
everything you need.  I am not 100% sure that building gnupg 2.0 will
work without problems - I only tested the latest 2.0 GIT version.

No you need to build gnupg again.  Libgcrypt has a different ABI and
thus a different SO number (20 on common Linux systems).


Salam-Shalom,
