This wouldn't be the first time Adobe has compiled their binary with a non-AMD-compatible compiler optimization enabled. (See bug #268336) Looks like in this case the issue is that 11.2 is now being compiled using SSE2 instructions, making the binary completely useless for anyone not running a CPU with SSE2.

In the mean time, I have bumped 10.3 to the security-fixed 10.3.183.18 (*and* removed the RPM dependency!).

I'm going to also consider adding a pkg_pretend check and failing the 11.2 install for non-SSE2 CPUs, recommending users package-mask their way back to 10.3.

Leaving this bug open to track the upstream CPU issue and future pkg_pretend changes.
