Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: acroread
I added a launchpad repository containing acroread to my sources.list -
and apt-get upgrade broke my dpkg when it downloaded
acroread_9.4.1-1lucid1_amd64.deb and tried to install it. I had been
using that repository for a while, all earlier versions of acroread
worked fine. This one just made dpkg crash so that I had to kill -9 it.
Now every time I run dpkg - from apt-get, from aptitude, or directly -
it just freezes and turns zombie until I kill it.
This is what I got (I tend to activate root login under Ubuntu, since I
like doing some serious admin work on the console):
r...@aphrodite:~# dpkg -i acroread_9.4.1-1lucid1_amd64.deb

As you can see, I'm German. But the interesting messages are in English.
