What's normal. gtk2-engines-xfce doesn't contain Multi-Arch stanza in
it's description. Hence - you cannot install more than one architecture
of this package at the same time.
Please note that I wrote 'libraries from the package', not the package.
Quick and dirty way to fix the issue is to download gtk2-engines-xfce,
then invoke (as root):
dpkg -x gtk2-engines-xfce_3.0.1-2_amd64.deb /usr/local/
mv /usr/local/usr/* /usr/local
rm -rf /usr/local/usr
This setup WILL break once Jessie's gtk2-engines-xfce package will be
updated.
Probably (I can not test it right now) more-or-less correct way to fix
the issue is to launch acroread with GTK theme that does not require xfce
engine (for example):
GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Raleigh/gtk-2.0/gtkrc acroread
