         I tried that on my own machine, but without repeating the
"--nodeps" on abiword; and it appeared to go OK -- the new abiword
then installed.

         But when I went to the panel drawer I had my abiword
launcher in, it had a big question mark on it. When I clicked it, I
got an error box saying "Cannot launch icon. Details: failed to
execute child process "abiword" (No such file or directory)"

         Sure enough, when I went to Main Menu > Office > More Office
Applications, that wouldn't take me anywhere.

         So now I'm at
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/devel/i386/libstdc++-4.0.0-2.i386.html
-- since rpm tells me libstdc++.so.6 is needed and that seems to
provide it -- but I get ftp errors with both Opera (my normal
downloader, which got the other rpms fine) and Konqueror.

         I even tried installing abiword again (I use -Uvh), with
--nodeps added; that just told me it was already installed.

         I hope it's a passing site problem, and will try downloading
again later. Stay tuned.
