Thank you for your quick response.

| Hi Ryo,
| 
| Please purge everything that is abiword related and reinstall.
| /usr/share/AbiSuite existed in woody for the last time. Some defoma
| old files may still be lying around.

That makes sense.  But, I've failed to solve the problem so far.

I found that defoma-reconfigure complained about abiword:

  # /usr/sbin/defoma-reconfigure
  W: abiword-common: Application not found.
  /usr/sbin/defoma-reconfigure: `defoma-app update abiword-common' failed (0).
  [. . .]

dpkg doesn't show any abiword related packages.

I deleted one file and one directory that I found obviously
related to abiword: 

  /etc/defoma/hints/xfonts-abi.hints
  /var/lib/defoma/abiword-common.d/

So,

1) I purged grace6.  The /usr/share/grace6/ directory is deleted.

2) I ran /usr/sbin/defoma-reconfigure .  It didn't complain about
   abiword.  "strace -f /usr/sbin/defoma-reconfigure" doesn't even
   include the string "abi" now.

3) I installed grace6, again.

This created the spurious symlink again!

   $ ls -l /usr/share/grace6/fonts/type1/bchb.pfa
   lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Feb 12 17:42 
        /usr/share/grace6/fonts/type1/bchb.pfa
         -> /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts/bchb.pfa

I got stuck.

Ryo
