[Bug 320440] Re: Sugar needs abiword built with libabiword

[Daniel Holbach]

Luke: I don't see a .so file being built or included in the new
packages. See the attached debdiff of the .deb packages.

If we want to include libabiword*.so it should be split out into a
separate package, I feel - and that needs to be coordinated with Debian.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: abiword

Sugar's word processor Write is based on abiword, and uses pyabiword to access the abiword functionality. This requires that abiword is built using --enable-libabiword, which then generates a libabiword-2.6.so.

Without this, sugar-write-activity cannot be shipped with jaunty. This is a major core activity for Sugar, so we'd really like to be able to ship it. It was shipped in a broken state in hardy, and then removed from intrepid before release.
