Dear people,
Yesterday I wanted to reinstall my 32-bits applications, skype and acroread.
I understood that 64-bits Oneiric (11.10) does now provide real 32-bits support, so I can install Adobe Acrobat Reader like this:
sudo apt-get install acroread:i386

First I thought it was removing redundant 32-bit versions of these packages, but then I realized my icons disappeared... and something else must be happening. Ctrl+C didn't work (known bug). So I killed the apt-get process.
I reinstalled most of the things and have the feeling that this error which remains should be easy to solve. First, however, I would like to know if people were able to install "acroread" on 64-bit system and how.
Thanks in advance!
PS: I did of course already:
