To be exact, abiword requires libwpd-1.so.7 while new libwpd (-0.8.2-1) provides libwpd-0.8.so.8. This disallows the whole update process to pass, one has to use a workaround like yum --exclude=libwpd{,-tools,-devel} update. Changing severity to 'high'. Please fix the dependencies here or in abiword.
libwpd-0.8.so.8 also causes Open Office to crash on any open or save.
DaXiong: are you sure? With the old libwpd OpenOffice crashes on any open or save, too, but only in KDE. Please see bug 166267 - do you have openoffice.org-kde? Are you running KDE? I've no problem in GNOME. After upgrade to the new libwpd (abiword removed to satisfy the dependencies) OpenOffice still doesn't crash on open or save on my system in GNOME and still does in KDE.
I did not notice any crashes in OpenOffice after a quick test (but I am using this thingy only when I am really out of other options) and it read correctly these two files from WordPerfect which I happen to have laying around. It is possible to install 'libwpd' update using '--nodeps' option to rpm and abiword still works fine after that; minus an ability to import WordPerfect formats but this is not that surprising (it gets something but results are garbage).

So right you are. updated to new libwpd and switched to KDE on the same day. Another case opf blaming the wrong variable. Thanks. Works fine under Gnome.
abiword should be in the update queue
The new abiword update isn't linked against libwpd at all. So that solves the dependency issue, but, y'know, only by breaking other things. Bug #170869.
will follow up with bug 170869
