Hi,

I am the maintainer of fig2sxd, which is a utility program for
converting files in xfig format to OpenOffice.org's sxd format.

There was a problem in the program which made newer versions of OOo
refuse opening the produced files (see
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3004139&group_id=98302&atid=620809)
In particular, the generated .sxd files cannot be opened in OOo 3.2
which is included in Lucid. The problem itself was small: the was a
newline at the end of the mimetype and OOo decided that the files were
corrupted in an unrecoverable way.

This problem is fixed in the new version 0.21 of fig2sxd. Is it possible
to update the version in Lucid? How?

Cheers,

Alexander Bürger
