Forget it, there are no .mo files for en_GB because the English strings are 
hard-coded into the binaries.

Only very few packages have en_GB translations, only if it would substantially 
differ from the default strings, and a missing translation is not a bug.

This problem has nothing to do with missing .mo files either. It's a simple 
shell scripting/quoting bug. Fix:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/rootlinux/rootlinux/ports/more/acroread/acroread-expr.patch

There is already a report this, so there is no need to report it in bugzilla.
