Description:

The fix for  FS#26488  reintroduced the wv2 dependency in koffice to open .doc files, which was removed a while ago. This is wrong: wv2 is obsolete and unmaintained upstream (last commit was 2 ys ago) and since 2.2 the koffice (and now calligra) developers maintain and update their own copy in the koffice source. The right fix is to add libgsf to makedepends (and depends to koffice-filters) so that koffice's copy of wv2 is built

This task depends upon

In addition to this, I would suggest to completely drop wv2 then. So far only koffice depends on it.
