+Hi - thanks.
+
+Ah, so are you saying that file should be in maybe a qwt-designer-plugin 
+package?
+
+Also I don't see how libqwt (6) and libqwt5 can be maintained from one 
+spec. How can an update be made to libqwt5 now that the spec is modified 
+for 6 ?
+
+This is not my package and I really don't have time for all this hassle. 
+This change has broken several packages all of which were previously 
+working.
+
+Can this mess be reverted and started again with some prior planning and 
+testing?
