Motivated by the computations done in cite{C1}, where I introduced and discussed what I called the groupoid of generalized gauge transformations, viewed as a groupoid over the objects of the category $mathsf{Bun}_{G,M}$ of principal $G$-bundles over a given manifold $M$, I develop in this paper the same ideas for the more general case of {em principal $calG$-bundles or principal bundles with structure groupoid $calG$}, where now $calG$ is a Lie groupoid in the sense of cite{Moer2}. Most of the concepts introduced in cite{C1} can be translated almost verbatim in the framework of principal bundles with structure groupoid $calG$; in particular, the key r�le for the construction of generalized gauge transformations is again played by (the equivalent in the framework of principal bundles with groupoid structure of) the division map $f_P$. Of great importance are also the generalized conjugation in a groupoid and the concept of (twisted) equivariant maps between groupoid-spaces.
