I just installed acroread on ~amd64 (a virtualbox guest) and it works as expected (the dreaded WFM reply). I noticed that acroread is a 32-bit app and several emul-linux-x86-* packages were installed as dependencies. How are you starting acroread? Clicking on a pdf file in a gui file manager, or from a command prompt, or...?
