    Jamie> What version of Fink are you using? OS version?

Sorry for that omission.  I'm using fink 0.6.0.cvs, with the 0.16.0 package
manager on Mac OS X 10.2.8.

    Jamie> Try running selfupdate and then update-all before installing
    Jamie> abiword

Been there, done that (several times).  I even tried removing
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/editors/abiword-*, then doing another
selfupdate and update-all.  Note:

    % fink list abiword
    Information about 2992 packages read in 2 seconds.
         abiword          1.0.3-12     Open-source word processor
    % ls /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/editors/abiword-*
    /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/editors/abiword-1.0.3-2.info
    /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/editors/abiword-1.0.3-2.patch

Disagreement between the list command and the file versions.  Looking at the
info file I see:

    Package: abiword
    Version: 1.0.3
    Revision: 12

This suggests a bug in the info file.  Shouldn't the Revision be 2?  (CC'ing
Jeffrey Whitaker, since he's the listed maintainer.)

Thanks,
