Bug Description
Binary package hint: abiword
After upgrading from Karmic, Abiword was not able to open .odt files correctly, but seemed to consider them as plain text files. I discovered Open and Save dialogs did not even list ODT as a known type, nor many of the text format plugins can support (only .abw, .doc and a few were listed). Removing ~/.Abisuite fixed that.
So I think there needs to be a migration system to detect new plugins. A hack for Ubuntu could be to remove the directory, with the downside of loosing some data.
