editors/abiword fails on not-really-missing dependency

[Ben Woods]

I have just submitted a bug report which includes a patch to update abiword
to the latest upstream release version 3.0.1.

This fixes the issues you have identified in your email.

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=199156

I would be greatful if you could test this patch to the port and confirm it
fixes your issue.

Regards,
Ben
