There's nothing inherently wrong with that except that your package manager doesn't have control of the situation anymore, so you may run into trouble later. I would recommend that you try completely removing the adobe version and reinstalling the debian version. It is likely, I think, that trying to run two versions simultaneously was the problem. In my opinion, it is preferable to run the debian packages instead of the adobe install. .02 A
