kubuntu and acroread

[Kenneth Jacker]

  albi> http://help.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com are good
  albi> sources for "progress" in the post-install era

Yes, I checked those sources.

  >> This is what I see when I attempt to run it:
  >> 
  >> $ /usr/bin/acroread
  >> /usr/bin/acroread: line 12: /usr/lib/Acrobat5/bin/acroread: No such file or dir

  albi> can you remove the old acroread 5.x ?

  albi> sudo apt-get remove --purge acroread*
  albi> is probably enough

  albi> then :
  albi> sudo apt-get update
  albi> sudo apt-get install acroread

I have removed and reinstalled multiple times -- both the 'multiverse'
package as well as the one from Adobe.  See below ...

  albi> it's possible that you have to log out and log in again first

Done that many times as well ...

  >> Are others successfully using 'acroread'?

  albi> yes

I'm jealous!

  albi> imho it's best to remove all and then install 1 properly

OK, so that you know what I've done and what's happening, here's some
captured output:
