Hi Rob,

It appears you installed the English version of the package from Adobe's site rather than our repositories at some point. I have noted this and will make sure the next version conflicts with their naming conventions as well.

In the meantime, you may fix the problem by:

sudo dpkg --purge adobereader-enu adobereader-deu

Then reinstall adobereader-deu
