[Bug 378135] Re: acroread 9 from jaunty's partner repository doesn't associate itself with PDF mime-types

[Ricardo Pérez López]

Thanks for the reply, Brian. As you said, I had a
/usr/share/applications/defaults.list file, so I just do the following:

1. sudo aptitude purge adobereader-enu
2. sudo rm /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
3. sudo ln -sf /etc/gnome/defaults.list /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
4. sudo aptitude install acroread (from partner) -> I choose "No" to the debconf question, because I DON'T want Adobe Reader to be my default PDF handler.
5. Log out and then log into GNOME.

However, after following the above steps, the problem is still here: I
can't select Adobe Reader when I right-click on a PDF document to open
with it.

To be precise: I don't want acroread to be my default PDF handler, but I
want GNOME let me to select acroread to open the PDF files I select
(using the currently-missing "Open with Adobe Reader" option of the PDF-
file right-click menu).

I hope I have explained me better.

Thanks in advance.
