I meant to mention this in my first post.  I downloaded the new koffice 
debs overnight, but did not install them until later in the morning.

~$ locate /usr/lib/libkformula
/usr/lib/libkformula.so.3
/usr/lib/libkformula.so.3.0.0
~$ ls -l /usr/lib/libkformula.*
ls: /usr/lib/libkformula.*: No such file or directory

I interpret that to mean that the lib was there when dlocatedb was 
updated early this morning, but has since been removed, presumably when 
I installed the new koffice debs.

To answer your question:

~$ ls -l /usr/lib/libkformula.so.3
ls: /usr/lib/libkformula.so.3: No such file or directory
~$ ls -lL /usr/lib/libkformula.so.3
ls: /usr/lib/libkformula.so.3: No such file or directory
~$     


A little further digging led me to this:


~$ dpkg -L koffice-libs |grep libkformula
/usr/lib/libkformulalib.so.3.0.0
/usr/lib/libkformulalib.so.3
~$ ls -l /usr/lib/libkformula*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     23 Nov 20 14:48 /usr/lib/libkformulalib.so.3 
-> libkformulalib.so.3.0.0
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 658728 Nov 19 
19:03 /usr/lib/libkformulalib.so.3.0.0
~$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libkformulalib.so.3 /usr/lib/libkformula.so.3
~$
~$
~$
~$ kword
koffice (lib kofficecore): WARNING: libkospell.so.4: cannot open shared 
object file: No such file or directory
~$
~$ dlocate libkospell
koffice-libs: /usr/lib/libkospell.so.4.1.0
koffice-libs: /usr/lib/libkospell.so.4
~$ ls -l /usr/lib/libkospell*
ls: /usr/lib/libkospell*: No such file or directory
~$
~$ locate libkospell
/usr/lib/libkospell.so.4
/usr/lib/libkospell.so.4.1.0
~$

I interpret that to mean that, like libkformula, libkospell was there 
until  I installed the new koffice debs.  Am I reading that correctly?  

And BTW, I mean no offense to Isaac.   He has gone to some trouble to 
upload the debs and I do not mean to disparage his work.  I'm just 
trying to figure out what's going on.
