Description of problem: Abiword was recently updated to 2.0.12-11 to fix a security problem and to fix bug #170117 (where libwpd was updated without rebuilding abiword). Well, this update *does* fix bug #170117, but only because it's not linked to libwpd at all. That breaks importing wordperfect documents. Oddly, "BuildRequires: libwpd-devel >= 0.7.1" *is* in the spec file. Looks like the configure script in abiword-plugins has a broken test (it looks for "libwpd-1" and finds that in the libwpd-devel-0.7.2 package just fine, but that -1 has been dropped in the new libwpd version, so the library isn't found). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable) abiword-2.0.12-11 and libwpd-0.8.2-1.fc3 How reproducible: intrinsicly. Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to build the package with libwpd-devel-0.8.2-1.fc3 2. try to open a wordperfect document Actual results: failure -- because libwpd isn't linked Expected results: well, given the situation, that's exactly what I *expect*. But what *should* happen is the packaging should be fixed. :) Additional info: This is a really good argument for why backporting fixes is often less work than updating to new versions, *especially* for libraries. Such updates shouldn't be undertaken without testing all dependencies.
in progress
From User-Agent: XML-RPC abiword-2.0.12-12 has been pushed for FC3, which should resolve this issue. If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.
