    Yes, tvignaud is official maintainer of abiword, but he didn't have time for
    it in the last year or so. Abiword1 and Abiword2 are in contribs though, and
    updated regularly, so it should be part of Mandrake 9.2 contribs, at least
    Abiword2.
    Thanks for offering help. At the moment everything works ok though.
