 I am on a MacBook Pro running macOS 10.11.6.  My MacPorts tree was
 recently updated.  I did a fresh install of Abiword as so:

 {{{

 }}}


 AbiWord.app is installed to /Applications/MacPorts/AbiWord.app

 Finder says the file was created August 10, 2006, and that it was modified
 today at 9pm

 Double-clicking the app gives me an error dialog with the message up in
 the subject line.

 To be certain - I deleted AbiWord.app and emptied the trash, then reran
 the above command to get the same behavior.  I notice that the version
 number shown here, 2.4.5, is really old, and that on abisource.org they
 say 3.0.2 is the latest version.
