Description:

The latest wv2 library in extra changed sonames. This causes runtime linking problems in koffice and prevents kword from reading .doc files. I was able to fix this problem locally by simpling rebuilding from source using abs.

(However, I did also have to patch the source to get kexi to compile correctly -- it seems libpqxx has also changed).

Additional info:
extra/koffice 1.6.3-8
extra/wv2 0.3.0-1


Steps to reproduce:

Install latest koffice and wv2. Try to open a Microsoft word .doc file. Fail!
