Description marat 2005-04-16 18:39:12 UTC 
plugger looks for 'abiword' to handle msword (.doc) files,

but abiword gets installed as a symlink, e.g., 'abiword-2.2'

fixed by:  ln -s /usr/bin/abiword-2.2 /usr/bin/abiword

now using alternatives eclass in 2.2.7 , that should take care of this in the future.
