Hello,
I just discovered that the Acroread package is broken:
$ acroread rsa.pdf
/usr/bin/acroread: line 12: /usr/lib/Acrobat5/bin/acroread: No such
file or directory
$ cat `which acroread`
#!/bin/sh
.
. *stuff*
.
/usr/lib/Acrobat5/bin/acroread "$@"
$ ls /usr/lib/Acrobat5/bin/
acroread.sh
PATCH ;)
12c12
< /usr/lib/Acrobat5/bin/acroread "$@"
---
> /usr/lib/Acrobat5/bin/acroread.sh "$@"
But, when I run it with the above problem fixed I get the yet another error:
$ acroread rsa.pdf
ERROR: Cannot find installation directory.
$ grep install_dir /usr/lib/Acrobat5/bin/acroread.sh|head -1
install_dir=REPLACE_ME
Changing this line to "install_dir=/usr/lib/Acrobat5/Reader"
How come noone noticed before? These problems are quite "severe". Are
these entirely unmaintained packages? Did I even get it from the
Ubuntu Universe? :)
Is it possible to check if I might have installed it from another
repository, thus writing this mail to the wrong target? :)
