Hmm, let's try something else.
1) open terminal
2) go to the place you downloaded the package to
3) install the package, using the command
    DEBUGLEVEL=3 ./abiword-2.4.4.x86.package
(make sure to adapt the filename if needed)
4) send in the file called "autopackage.log" generated in the same directory.

Personally I don't care about distro wars or freer-than-free ness, so
we can just as well focus on getting abiword running.
