This means that the Poedit binary was built against wxWidgets 2.8.5, but the package's dependencies weren't updated to require wxWidgets-2.8 >= 2.8.5. As a workaround, update all wx packages to at least 2.8.5. The real fix is to either
(a) update package's dependencies; or VERSION= 20800 so that it works with any wx 2.8.x version (but may have some limitations or degradations: 2.8.9+ works best for Poedit 1.4.2+)
(b) compile Poedit with -DwxABI_
Lastly, this probably affects *all* apps in karmic that use wxWidgets.
