Hi,

The documentation for the latest Debian archive of abiword
(abiword_0.7.12_i386.deb) suggests that it has been tested and works on
the latest stable (potato - v2.2r2) release of Debian.

I would like to point out that this is not the case - the following
dependency errors occur on Debian stable:

  requires libc6 >= 2.1.97 (potato currently on 2.1.3-13)
  requires libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 (potato currently on libstdc++2.10)
  requires xlibs >=4.0.1-1 (not in potato)

This all suggests to me that this Debian package will only work on the
unstable (woody) release?

Any chance of a true potato release?
Andy.
