the link seems to be lacking the final 'l', this works:

That is right. The Application Manager is not up to the task of real
package management, unfortunately. It can deal with dependencies in
the sense that it refuses to install packages with unsatisfied
dependencies, but it can not automatically find packages that would
satisfy them, like apt can, for example.
Also, a package that is meant to be installed with the Application
Installer must be specifically constructed for this. See
http://maemo.org/platform/docs/howtos/
howto_making_an_application_package.htm
for more information.
If you can, you should use apt-get or dpkg directly to install real
packages. (I don't know: is AbiWord a Application Installer package
or a regular package? I guess it is a regular package.)
So the general rule is: if the installation instructions of some
package to not specifically state that you should use the Application
Installer to install it, ignore the Application Installer completely.
(Expect most of this to change for the better...)
