Adobe acroread upgrade breaks links, and a FIX



Hello, all:

After my usual daily update of my testing system this morning, which
updated only acroread and related stuff, acroread and the browser
plugin were broken.  It turns out /etc/alternatives/acroread was
pointing to the wrong place after the upgrade.  These two commands
will fix it:

rm /etc/alternatives/acroread
ln -s /usr/lib/Adobe/Reader8/bin/acroread-en /etc/alternatives/acroread

You'll also need to run acroread outside the browser once to accept
the license before it will work inside the browser (assuming you have
nppdf.so properly installed).

Patrick
