I won't speculate on why the package hasn't been included in the partner repository for raring (yet?), but: (a) as a stop-gap measure you could try installing the version from quantal; (b) maybe this warrants a new bug report, since the title of this one refers explicitly to Ubuntu precise and to an outdated version (9.5.1) of Adobe reader. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Adobe, which is subscribed to adobe-isv. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990761 Title: acroread 9.5.1 is not installable on Ubuntu Precise amd64 system Status in Canonical and Adobe collaboration project: Fix Released Status in “acroread” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “acroread” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Status in “acroread” source package in Raring: Fix Released Bug description: ---- Adobe Reader is missing from Ubuntu Raring & Quantal; meanwhile, Adobe Reader 9.5.3 has been released upstream, see bug #1106447. ---- The acroread_9.5.1-1precise1_i386.deb package cannot be installed on a x86_64 Ubuntu 12.04 where i386 is enabled as a foreign architecture, because it depends on acroread-common and acroread- common_9.5.1-1precise1_all.deb does not satisfy this dependency. This can be reproduced using aptitude, synaptic, apt-get, and dkpg. For example: $ apt-get install acroread-common ... $ apt-get install acroread:i386 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: acroread:i386 : Depends: acroread-common:i386 but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. I believe the problem is that acroread-common package is not being created with a "Multi-Arch: foreign" field.
