[LMDE 64] Acrobat Reader once was available, now unavailable

[zerozero]

let''s try this way

Code: Select all

mint-choose-debian-mirror

pick another mirror (rts-info, gwendallebihan, debian.linuxmint.com) do

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

and try again to locate it with

Code: Select all

apt-cache policy acroread

Looks like that might get me somewhere.

The following packages will be upgraded:
ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk
2 upgraded, 190 newly installed, 4 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 81.7 MB of archives.
After this operation, 118 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n
Abort.
danc@danc-e535:~/Documents$ apt-cache policy acroread
acroread:i386:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 9.5.1-dmo7
Version table:
9.5.1-dmo7 0

I am going to let it install the needed packages and then do the Acroread install.
Then I am going to bed.
Thanks for the excellent help as usual.
I didn't know I had a mirror problem.

[zerozero]

as usual was a nice evening
i wasn't aware either that the mirror you had before was problematic.
cya.

dcihon, did it work for you or did you give up? Have the same problem and would like to know your solution, please!

Following on after dcihon's last post this is what I get:

Maybe I should have added the arch, but "root@DESKTOP:/# apt-get install acroread:i386" gives the same output.

[zerozero]

what's the output of

Code: Select all

dpkg --print-foreign-architectures

[hallergard]

Thanks zerozero Output is "i386"
