Well, we depend on certain people making the packages. That's because A)
I/we trust those people B) they make good quality packages....
B is especially important: the last few releases, we've had 0 bad
packages, where in the past, we got quite some complaints when the
packages were made by, erm, 'random' people...

Please make very sure you are on a stock FC1 system. When you have
installed stuff from rawhide for example, there's quite a good change
that a stock Fedora user will NOT be able to install the packages.
Furthermore, make sure you have the lastest libwpd(-devel),
enchant(-devel), AikSaurus(-devel) and AikSaurus-GTK(-devel) rpm's
installed.
Finally, when you've made the package, please list the dependencies the
package has (ie. packages not available in the default RH install)...
most likely these deps will be the packages i mentioned above.

hmm...... dunno about that one... That spec is for STABLE, and not HEAD.

Yay! ;)

Hardware issue @ KJD, so just a bit of bad luck....
