Well, AbiWord is in Fedora Extras, and you aren't better off installing
an RPM from AbiWord HQ, because we don't host RPM's - rather, Marc
builds the AbiWord packages for Fedora Extras. That should really be
all you need - (full/purge) uninstalling abiword (and any other parts of
it that might be left over from fc4), making sure that yum is accessing
fedora extras, updating/clearing the cache (or whatever is analogous to
that: I'm used to apt distros here), then installing again should work
fine. This sounds like it might be more of a yum/fc problem: I, at
least, have no idea what the problem is here. Granted, I don't use FC,
but still...
