dpkg fails to install 32-bit adobe acrobat reader on 64-bit wheezy system: depends issue



So this works fine on 64-bit squeeze:
> chiestand@squeeze:/tmp$ sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture adobereader-enu_9.5.1_i386.deb

But not on 64-bit wheezy:
> chiestand@wheezy:/tmp$ sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture adobereader-enu_9.5.1_i386.deb
> (Reading database ... 783153 files and directories currently installed.)
> Preparing to replace adobereader-enu 9.5.1 (using areader.old.deb) ...
> Unpacking replacement adobereader-enu ...
> dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of adobereader-enu:

> dpkg: error processing adobereader-enu (--install):

> Processing triggers for man-db ...
> Errors were encountered while processing:

Notice the dependency failure. But the depend is actually satisfied in wheezy:
> chiestand@wheezy:/tmp$ dpkg -l libgtk2.0-0
> Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

Is this a multi-arch issue? I've tried setting up multi-arch:
> sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
> sudo apt-get update

But I get the same result. Bob Proulx, maybe you were right ;-)

Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks,
Chris
