Why are you filing this against the database component? ;-)

And how do you explain
http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?&pkg=libtextcat&ver=2.2-2&arch=mips&file=log
http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?&pkg=libtextcat&ver=2.2-2&arch=mipsel&file=log
and
http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?&pkg=openoffice.org&ver=1%3A2.4.0%7Erc2-1&arch=mips&file=log
http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?&pkg=openoffice.org&ver=1%3A2.4.0%7Erc2-1&arch=mipsel&file=log

It built. No changes since then in anything related libtextcat.
[ Now OOo does not build anymore, right, but that's a buildd/perl/sbuild
problem, neither one of OOo nor libtextcat ]

Maybe that's your problem. AFAIK our mips(el) ports are 32bit stuff so
you might want to use linux32 so the system is not detected as
mips(el)64.

If that is the case, this bug is invalid and should be closed.
