Problematic Acroread Install in Squeeze
Wanted to try Acroread.
The package acroread-debian-files would not install. There are no
dependency problems.
I switched to apt-get at the prompt.
About line 111 below I dpkg-configure says it can't overwrite a man file.
So I try to move that file in line 122 to no avail.
Now aptitude refuses to uninstall Adobe Reader. :) Haven't tried
uninstalling Acroread yet.
Any insights appreciated!
