As per instructions here, I removed everything associated with "Acroread" using the Synaptics Package Manager and then I used Ubuntu Tweak (the newest version, installed this morning) to remove every remaining trace of Acroread (as well as everything else found there which was available for removing).

Then I reinstalled Acroread from the terminal. It worked. I then went back into the Synaptics Package Manager and tried to reinstall several additional options, including the plugins and the reader option.

The ones which appear to be giving problems are < acroread-I10n-de > and < acroread-debian-files > (I have both the medibuntu and the debian-multimedia repositories installed). When I attempted to upgrade, these two files appeared in the "Broken" files section so I uninstalled them.

Everything I have selected now appears to be functioning properly.

Thanks for all the helpful posts here. The Ubuntu community is positively the finest community in existence and, each time I go here for advice or help, and I get it, it just makes me very thankful that I took the plunge last year to install, learn, and use Ubuntu Linux.

Thanks again!
