Here's my version of the workaround, it patches all the nppdf files only if
they match the broken md5sum.
Just copy/paste all of it in a single line in a terminal and enter your
password when prompted by the sudo command.
find /usr /opt -name '*nppdf*' | xargs md5sum | while read sum file; do

Deleting /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.nppdf.so works but only

The edit in post #3 is working here.

I hope this bug gets fixed. In the meantime:

I also concur with Aristotelis, Martin and Carol: the probelm only appeared
after updating acroread (I am using a 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04.1), that, in fact,
was done moments ago. The nagging file is small (NPP...), but unles you discard

I concur with Martin and Karol and would like to add that this problem
only appeared after my last acroread update.
