Description:
In order to use the collaboration plugin included in the package, an account has to be created first (via Collaborate->Accounts->Add), but the drop-down list used to select the account type is insensitive (see also this[1] forum thread).

The plugin has various backends, two of them have a dependency on community/asio. This is the relevant configure output:
<snip>
checking asio.hpp usability... no
checking asio.hpp presence... no
checking for asio.hpp... no
checking for collab tcp backend...
checking for collab sugar backend... yes
checking for asio.hpp... (cached) no
checking for collab service backend...
<snap>

Installing the asio package and rebuilding abiword-plugins solves the issue. I therefore propose the following solution:
1. move asio from community to extra
2. add a dependency on asio to abiword-plugins (see attached patch)

Alternatively, the package may be patched to either use boost/asio instead of (stand-alone) asio or to not build the collaboration plugin.

I experienced the issue with version 2.8.1-1 on both i686 and x86_64.

Please re-open to allow me to post an alternative patch which removes the collaboration plugin from the package. This would make it possible to add a separate abiword-plugin-collab package to AUR, and thus avoiding any additions to extra.

An alternative patch as mentioned in the original report, which removes the collaboration plugin from the package. With this patch, a separate package for the collaboration plugin with a dependency on community/asio can be added to AUR without introducing file conflicts with the original packet.

I added asio to extra and I rebuilt abiword-plugins.
