I've added a tracker, with s,",/, as "libabw" matches libabw but not *libabw*, unlike /libabw/. I see conflicts with poppler, exiv2, imagemagick and some others, but all those are not ongoing yet. So we just need to start this at the right time and there should be no problems. I suppose we need to wait for calligra to be updated, and possibly for LO 4.3 final?
