    Where is package 'mozilla-acroread'? It is mentioned in this and other guides:

    What repo do I need to get package 'mozilla-acroread'

    Re: Where is mozilla-acroread?

    Where is package 'mozilla-acroread'?
    It is in the Medibuntu:
    Package: mozilla-acroread
    Source: acroread
    Version: 8.1.2-0medibuntu1
    ...
    This package is in Medibuntu because Ubuntu no longer provides it as it
    is not freely redistribuable.

    BUT when looking at the http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/non-free/a/acroread/ there is mozilla-acroread_8.1.2-0medibuntu4_i386.deb. I can't find ..._amd64.deb version, maybe this is the problem ?
    Before you edit, BACKUP !

    Why there are dead links ?

      Re: Where is mozilla-acroread?

      Thanks for the reply. I was able to install 'mozilla-acroread' like this:

      Go here:

      http://www.debian-multimedia.org/dis...amd64/package/

      and download deb files:

      ia32-libs-xulrunner
      acroread-data
      acroread
      acroread-debian-files
      acroread-escript
      acroread-plugins
      mozilla-acroread

      Then cd to directory you downloaded .deb files to and as root run

      dpkg -i *.deb

      rm -rf *.deb

      Then in Firefox search engine type 'pdf test' and test away. I found in Kubuntu that SOME of the pages Google found with 'pdf test' opened but not all. So this method may be buggy in Ubuntu/Kubuntu. Use at your own risk.

      Wish we could get Ubuntu 'mozilla-acroread' and 'acroread' for x86_64...

        What is so great about mozilla-acroread? You don't need it for anything, afaik! Kpdf does exactly the same job and is nicely integrated with the rest of the kubuntu system!

                  You must not have all of your repositories active. Can you post the output of:

                  cat /etc/apt/sources.list

                      OK, run:

                      Code:
                      kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list
                      and when you have the file open, edit it to remove the comment (#) from in front of the line:

                      # deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hardy partner

                      Then save the file, then run:

                      Code:
                      sudo apt-get update
                      then run:

                      Code:
                      sudo apt-get install mozilla-acroread

                          Re: How to mozilla-acroread.

                          OK, it appears that a previous attempt to install left some files behind that are interfering with the install, but it seems we have the broken dependencies problem solved. So now you should run,

                          Code:
                          sudo apt-get purge mozilla-acroread
                          and then

                          Code:
                          sudo apt-get autoclean
                          and then

                          Code:
                          sudo apt-get install mozilla-acroread
