The following bug report (with patch) was entered into Bugzilla on
Thursday.
Installing the tarball distribution
(abisuite-0.7.8-Linux_i386_dynamic.tar.gz) on SuSE Linux 6.2, I got an
error from tar, but the script went on to say "Installation complete." and
had a zero exit status.
There are at least two situations where this can happen - insufficient
permissions, and having a prior version abiword running while installing
(Text file busy). I made these tweaks that seem to fix the problem-

$ECHO "Installing AbiSuite software in [$INSTALL_BASE]..."
cd $INSTALL_BASE tar xf $INSTALL_DATA_FILE
+ if [ $? -ne 0 ]
+ then
+ $ECHO ""
+ $ECHO "Oops, tar seems to be having some trouble. Refer to the
errors above."
+ $ECHO "Installation aborted."
+ $ECHO ""
+ exit 1

This seems like a good idea that was likely to be missed if it stayed in
bugzilla.
