I recently upgrade from 0.7.4 to 0.9.4
All went well, except the debian package depends on libgal9 a package
which does not seem to exist. at least, it is not available from
packages.debian.org.
However, the following packages are available:
libgal13 0.13-1
libgal11 0.11.2-1
libgal14 0.14-1
After forcing nodepends, I installed libgal11, and symbolically linked
/usr/lib/libgal.so.9 to /usr/lib/libgal.so.11, which was installed by libgal11.
Abiword seems to be working OK, perhaps the dependancies in the debian
package simply could be changed?
