Installing acroread.

[davoudi]

Hi everybody,

I just recently tried to install acrobat read but I am facing the following error message:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
acroread : Depends: nspluginwrapper but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


Any help is highly appreciated.

So apparently there is no broken package.

Have you tried Okular or Evince? They are much better than Acroread so if there's not a special reason why you have to use specificially Acroread, you might try one of the better options.

I use the and they very good. They just don't completely handle and show comments and changes made with acrobat writer.

Okular does show the edited file completely. Thanks.
