AbiWord crashed with abiword plugins installed

[Rylie Pavlik]

Binary package hint: abiword-plugins

(Gutsy, AMD64, recently upgraded)

AbiWord starts normally if started from the Applications menu. However, if starting because a file was double-clicked on, or if opening a file from within the application, the contents of the document are displayed briefly, then AbiWord closes. No crash detector opens. This is not https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword/+bug/32870 because the open dialog displays just fine, and the document even opens, but immediately closes. It doesn't appear to matter what document it is - I have tried many file types.

All that appears on the terminal is
ryan@gamma:~$ abiword
abiword: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/AbiWord-2.4/plugins/libAbiGrammar.so: undefined symbol: dictionary_create_lang

The application works fine when the plugins are not installed - it would appear as though a build problem occurred when building the Grammar plugin (built against wrong version of Link-Grammar binary or source?). The appropriate source for LinkGrammar is http://www.abisource.com/downloads/link-grammar/4.2.4/

This bug is (possibly?) reported upstream at http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11224, though it DOES NOT occur upstream.

Thank you, I'm marking this as triaged.

This is probably related to Bug #3197

[Lionel Le Folgoc (mrpouit)]

Seems to be a packaging issue specific to gutsy, should be fixed by now.
