AdbeRdr9.5.4-1_i386linux_enu.deb
dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled:

BUT I can't get it to run.  I have tried from the menu.  I have tried from 
Krunner.  I have tried double-clicking the file.  Nothing.  I am still 
getting the error message demanding a newer version of Adobe Reader.  Help! 
all you lovely people.  Where now??
