do not replace the pdf mimetype icon

[Jeff Fortin Tam]

adobe reader 8 came through my gutsy updates today, it is nice.

However, it replaces my nice and sharp gnome icons for the pdf mimetype. Please revert this. It breaks icon themes. I don't want adobe messing with them!

whoops, discovered this is a medibuntu-provided package, so I guess it has nothing to do with ubuntu per se.

[Lionel Le Folgoc (mrpouit)]

Thanks for your bug report. I'll remove these icons.

Committed to bzr and uploaded

acroread (8.1.1-0medibuntu2) gutsy; urgency=low

  * debian/rules, debian/acroread-common.links: do not install mimetypes icons
    anymore. (LP: #151463)
  * debian/acroread*.{install,links}, debian/lintian-acroread*, debian/rules:
    install to @LIB@, and replace during the build with usr/lib (for i386) or
    usr/lib32 (for amd64), so that installation dirs are correct for amd64
    systems. Thanks to the Automatix Team for being aware of this issue and
    *NOT* having reported a bug for it... you're so useful!

that was very quick, many thanks! :)

by the way, is there a possibility to "fix it upstream" (that means adobe I guess)? or is it really an ubuntu issue?

[Lionel Le Folgoc (mrpouit)]

Both : Adobe Reader uses a custom installer which adds these mimetypes icons, and I reproduced it (sort of) with some symlinks in the package (but I don't think it's worth reporting to Adobe).

[Jeff Fortin Tam (kiddo)]

oh, I thought with Reader 8 they provided debian packages. Anyway, thanks again :)

[Lionel Le Folgoc (mrpouit)]

They do, but I don't use it, since the deb provided on their website installs acroread to /opt, which is wrong (the package manager should not use this directory nor /usr/local, it's reserved for the sys admin).

[Pavel Rojtberg (rojtberg)]

reopened for the acroread package in ubuntu-partner

[Felix Zweig (f.zweig)]

Yep, this is still valid for acroread-9.2-1karmic1 from ubuntu-partner. And it still installs into /opt/Adobe/Reader9...

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

Hi, a new acroread release (0.9.4) is available for update, could you give it a try and tell us if the problem persists?
If you still have this bug please set back the status to "new"
thanks
