Talking with engineering to try and get this updated. #woeng
** Description changed: IBM asked me why "acroread" has been dropped in Quantal. I did some investigation and it turns out that the problem started earlier than that. Acroread:i386 is available for Precise, but acroread:amd64 failed to build from source. This was never fixed. There are numerous web pages out there since that tell people how to get around this on Precise (either install the i386 which will pull in about 140 MB of i386 dependencies) or download Acrobat directly from Adobe. Now on Quantal, there is no source package at all, so obviously nothing built. So far I have not heard anything suggesting these were an intentional changes. In fact, it's possible that we are failing to fulfill an agreement with Adobe by not building it. I think it comes down to the fact that partner hasn't really gotten the same level of attention since Brian Thomason left. I'm not sure how important this is to the customer quite yet, so I'm going with the default P3 for now.
