However, there is a new version of acroread which is available (5.06). Christian Marillat has already packaged it (http://marillat.free.fr). It think it closes not all the bugs, but a lot of them. Before removing a package, I think it is a good idea to verify if the version present in the Debian archive is the latest available. Aurelien
