Emerge tries to download a related script, which is no longer available on the project's server. At this point it aborts. The script in question is not a requirement for the actual wpd2sxw tool, and could be safely removed from the ebuild.

Actually this file should be on our distfiles mirrors, as I've placed it there some weeks ago after I noticed that it is missing upstream. Although the script indeed is no requirement for the ebuild, it is the only reason to keep the ebuild around as OOo 2.0 can open Word Perfect Files by itself. Corrected the SRC_URI for the file
