Health warning: You should not run any packages without security support such as acroread. If you still want to, these are the steps which worked for me
"acroread "will work without canberra-gtk-module, unity-gtk module, murrine theme, and the overlay scrollbar you can ignore those messages when just trying to get it to run (though, it will be nicer if these are fixed, and the steps below do fix most of these warnings) 1) apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libnss3-1d:i386 libnspr4-0d:i386 lib32nss-mdns libxml2:i386 libxslt1.1:i386 libstdc++6:i386 apt-get install --reinstall gtk2-engines-murrine:i386 gtk2-engines-pixbuf:i386 2) To make many 32 bit programs work, you will also need the i386 versions of name service libraries: It depends on the system how you do this: aptitude search libnss | grep ^i | grep -v i386 i libnss-ldap - NSS module for using LDAP as a naming serv i A libnss-mdns - NSS module for Multicast DNS name resoluti i A libnss-sss - Nss library for the System Security Servic i A libnss3 - Network Security Service libraries i A libnss3-nssdb - Network Security Security libraries - shar I needed to make sure that the 32 bit versions of the above were installed apt-get install libnss-ldap:i386 libnss-mdns:i386 libnss-sss:i386 libnss3:i386 libnss3-nssdb:i386 Finally: from http://mastro77.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/installing-adobe-reader-9-in-ubuntu-1404.html You do not need to pull in any dependencies from precise, only acroread should be installed by this next set of steps: 3) sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install acroread sudo add-apt-repository -r "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner" sudo apt-get update If other dependencies are required, to be safe, remove the precise repository and install them from the trusty repository sudo add-apt-repository -r "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner" sudo apt-get update apt-get install [list of missing dependencies] and go back to step 3) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to overlay-scrollbar in Ubuntu. Matching subscriptions: dx-packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1262022 Title: incorrect multi-arch related meta information. Status in overlay-scrollbar package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I'm on a 64-bit system trying to install "overlay-scrollbar-gtk2:i386" which depends on the "overlay-scrollbar:i386" package. "overlay- scrollbar:i386" doesn't have an install candidate because it's a "multi-arch" package. This should (or so I've been told) be reflected in the meta information of the "overlay-scrollbar" package but isn't, which is why the former package fails to install. As a more competent person than I put it: "The overlay-scrollbar package does not come in i386 or amd64 flavors; it comes as an "all" flavor, which installs on all archs. It appears to be missing the Multi-Arch: allowed header so it won't satisfy an i386 package depending on it. You should file a bug report asking that the missing header be added."
