For saving an image into .wmf inkscape needs uniconvertor. This dependency is not given in the rpm file, so it is not necessarily installed. This fault is fixed manually by yum install uniconvertor
Looks like this is considered an optional dependency (ie, only required for folks who care or need to export to wmf, for example, others may or may not want it)
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
I added it in rawhide and f18, it's a tiny package without large deps. Georg, do you want this in f17 and f16, or is installing it manually ok for you for those?
