I am still trying to work towards and Abiword install, but it appears considerable upgrading is needed. I ran the gnome-upgrade script, and it failed (as seems to be expected). So per its instructions, I ran "pkgdb -F", and it also failed, with the following output: [2:14:314]root@angel:/usr/home/gord> pkgdb -F ---> Checking the package registry database [Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb1_btree> in /var/db/pkg ...
