scidavis-0.2.3 deps on =x11-libs/qwt-5.1*[svg] while we have qwt-5.2.0 available, and that's the version Debian is using for the same version of scidavis.

is there a reason for such restrictive dep?

+  03 Jan 2010; Samuli Suominen <ssuominen@gentoo.org> scidavis-0.2.3.ebuild:
+  Unrestrict x11-libs/qwt depend to allow also 5.2.0 (latest) wrt #299511.

Tested by me and jlec (Freenode, IRC)
