What happens if you try to launch from a terminal (type "abiword")?

When I checked few month ago ABIWORD I have seen it overwrote DBUS system config and caused incompatibility issues. Sorry I forgot to report it, I was busy with many other stuff.

I guess it is a DBUS related issue due to DBUS locations changed.

It's true that /etc/dbus-1 moved to /usr/local/etc/dbus-1, but it should write it's own dbus config file rather than overwriting the dbus config, no?

Yes, placed into the system.d directory same way as HAL.

Abiword is compiled without dbus. So unless it's doing something weird without libdbus..

Abiword is now missing libgsf. When I try to install it separately, some key files are still missing.

Ah - I split the old librsvg.tczl extension into it's component parts - libcroco, libgsf, librsvg - maybe this could be the problem?

Things change fast 'round here :P Added libgsf and libcroco to .dep. Abiword starts on a base norestore 2.4rc4.

Maybe we should start acting like the big software vendors. No big changes without an advance notice of a month, then provide backwards compatibility for 5 years. And since we have access to all software in our repo, automated reports about what needs changing, when and how. And maybe testing, QA and QC.

;)

ie. These things happen.

Please retry with the updated abiword.tcz:

rm /usr/local/tce.installed/abiword
tce-load -w -i abiword.tcz

I'm seeing the same thing as enoch using "base norestore". Is the libgsf package corrupted?

Sorry, I'm stupid. Talking without checking first what I'm saying  :-\

It is not ABIWORD, it is GNUMERIC with DBUS setup.
