Thanks Seth, Aaron and Chuck for the help. I managed to d/l abiword from the extras devel tree finally. Now just have to clean up all the failed dependencies shown below.

enchant and aiksaurus are other packages which were dropped recently from FC. Presumably they will migrate to extras or this already happened. This is somewhat strange in a case of enchant as its description says "A library that wraps other spell checking backends". A common wrapper which you have to find somewhere "outside" does not sound that useful.
Also, need to clear up some missunderstandings. Abiword was included in the FC3 core release, not the FC3 extras.
Lots of things were in core and are not there anymore. A list is rather extensive. Moving to extras big fat pigs like openoffice or eclipse would be much more effective.
