acroread packages obsoleted
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 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. -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

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...
