Keep in mind that Ubuntu does not allow us to directly upload packages unlike Fedora and SuSE, where Abi maintainers keep packages up to date, so there's a 1.5 year old version of AbiWord that adds all import/export support in an additional package in Ubuntu right now. I'm working to get AbiWord 2.6 in Hardy, and in the process I put all importer/exporter support that I could in the main package, where it should have been packaged all along, which will probably fix the problem you had. -- Ryan Pavlik www.cleardefinition.com #282 + (442) - [X] A programmer started to cuss Because getting to sleep was a fuss As he lay there in bed Looping 'round in his head was: while(!asleep()) sheep++; _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
