Thank you for reporting this issue. I am able to reproduce this issue. I use Abiword on a daily basis in Lucid Lynx.

This appears to be a direct result of updates installed on 2010-02-18 as of 02:21 pm GMT.

When run from the terminal, an error is produced: "abiword: error while loading shared libraries: libgoffice-0.8.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I am attaching the /var/log/apt logs from today as well as ~/.xsession-errors log showing the above error. Please note that when Abiword is started from the menu, it fails silently with the error appearing in the .xsession-errors log. When started from the terminal, the error does not appear in the log file.
