Mine are below. I had endless problems with my default repositories (.za based 
on my locale in South Africa). Once I switched to the ones below I was fine. 
I definately have acroread in my list and have installed successfully.

I am also not sure if it "universe" or "multiverse" that you need or the 
difference between them.
