Hi,

The last time I did aptitude update, I found my acroread packages (from
debian-multimedia) are now obsolete, which contain,

acroread, acroread-data, acroread-escript and acroread-plugins

$ apt-cache policy acroread
acroread:
Installed: 9.1.0-0.4
Candidate: 9.1.0-0.4
Version table:
*** 9.1.0-0.4 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

How can I have acroread now?

Thanks

Add 'non-free' to your sources.lst for debian-multimedia. It's been that
way for since 17 Feb.

9.1.0-0.4 is pretty frickin old. Are you running Lenny?

Have you gone to http://www.debian-multimedia.org to see if there's
any news?

BTW, the d-m.o unstable branch still lists acroread.

$ apt-cache policy acroread
acroread:
Installed: 9.3.1-0.0
Candidate: 9.3.1-0.0
Version table:
*** 9.3.1-0.0 0
500 http://www.debian-multimedia.org unstable/non-free Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

multimedia does indeed have 9.3

however it also seems to be having problems:

W: Failed to fetch http://www.debian-multimedia.org/dists/sid/Release
Unable to find expected entry or/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index
file (malformed Release file?)

E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.

Although that didn't stop me from apt-getting acroread.

If only evince handled forms correctly...

Thanks a lot Brad, that's exactly the reason.

PS. apparently I'm not the only one who is not aware of this, the mirror
that I'm using, http://debian-multimedia.gnali.org/, still doesn't have
non-free in its repo.
