For what it's worth I run ~x86 and I got the same error with libwpd
until I made sure I had the 0.8 slot emerged as well (emerge libwpd:0.8)

It looks like it just became slotted (if I remember right.)

Unfortunately I then had a problem with OpenOffice and libwpg.  And had
to downgrade back to 1.1.3 (and mask 0.2.0.)  It looked like OpenOffice
wasn't happy with a 2.0 version and still wanted a 1.0 version (but I
didn't look too carefully.)

However it looks like it's slotted now so you should be able to install
libwpg:0.2 as well as libwpg:0.1 and OpenOffice will still work.

However, I get file collisions when trying to install libwpg:0.2 with
libwpg:0.1 installed right now.  It might still be in the process of being
fully slotted?

If you don't have the libwpd:0.8 and/or libwpg:0.1 slotted versions then
just emerge them too.
