Details

Abiword currently depends on gnome-common, which is now in extra. Dorphell, please see if abiword will build without gnome-common installed, otherwise we'll have to move it back into current.

ps: abiword-2.0.6 source is missing from SF right now. hmmm.
This task depends upon

abiword depends on libglade, which is a library that installs in /opt/gnome.
Every library that installs libs in /opt/gnome has to depend on gnome-common. Applications shouldn't depend on gnome-common anymore.

so yes, abiword needs gnome-common, either as dependency on abiword, or as dependency on libglade (hmm, do I smell a package bug in libglade here?)

[jvinet@mars jvinet]$ pacman -Ql libglade | grep /lib/
libglade /usr/lib/
libglade /usr/lib/libglade-2.0.a
libglade /usr/lib/libglade-2.0.la
libglade /usr/lib/libglade-2.0.so
libglade /usr/lib/libglade-2.0.so.0
libglade /usr/lib/libglade-2.0.so.0.0.3
libglade /usr/lib/pkgconfig/
libglade /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libglade-2.0.pc

libglade was been moved to /usr/lib a few weeks ago.

ah, I was mistaken: I grepped on libglade and found some gnome-media files in /opt/gnome ;)

I tried to run abiword without gnome-common (unsetting the variables gnome.sh sets), and it seems to run without problems. I can't find any library references to /opt/gnome, so yes, the dependency could be removed.

I don't know if this counts for future abiword versions, but the time will learn. When I have time I will start maintaining development builds op abiword and gnumeric.

It's not related to /opt/gnome at all. It was a mistake. Sorry.
