Alternative suggestion: download latest (or desired) version from AbiWord, and install it under /usr/local. You can use the 'stow' package to manage such non-distro software if you chose. If you're just running a desktop, and are discouraged by the lag in packaging for Debian/stable, I'd encourage looking at either unstable or testing. While I'd recommend stable for servers, you'll probably find the other tracks more than acceptable for personal use. This is far preferable than trying to track both stable and unstable for different packages, though tools to do so are now emerging. Cheers. -- Karsten M.
