When I use landronimirc's patched PPA I get prompted to install a whole
lot of i386 code on my 64bit Ubuntu 12.04

#sudo apt-get install adobereader-enu

adobereader-enu:i386 is already the newest version.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

Then 
#apt-get -f install

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libatk1.0-0:i386 libcairo2:i386 libdatrie1:i386 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386 libgtk2.0-0:i386 libjasper1:i386 libpango1.0-0:i386 libpixman-1-0:i386
  libthai0:i386 libxcb-render0:i386 libxcb-shm0:i386 libxcomposite1:i386 libxcursor1:i386 libxdamage1:i386 libxfixes3:i386 libxft2:i386
  libxinerama1:i386 libxrandr2:i386

What is the effect of this and won't it mess things up on my machine

Title:
  acroread 9.5.1 is not installable on Ubuntu Precise amd64 system

  Fix Released
Status in “acroread” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “acroread” source package in Quantal:

Status in “acroread” source package in Raring:

Bug description:
  ----
  Adobe Reader is missing from Ubuntu Raring & Quantal;
  meanwhile, Adobe Reader 9.5.3 has been released upstream,
  see bug #1106447.
  ----

  The acroread_9.5.1-1precise1_i386.deb package cannot be installed on a
  x86_64 Ubuntu 12.04 where i386 is enabled as a foreign architecture,
  because it depends on acroread-common and  acroread-
  common_9.5.1-1precise1_all.deb does not satisfy this dependency.

  This can be reproduced using aptitude, synaptic, apt-get, and dkpg.  For example:
  $ apt-get install acroread-common
  ...
  $ apt-get install acroread:i386

  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:i386 : Depends: acroread-common:i386 but it is not installable
  E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

  I believe the problem is that acroread-common package is not being
  created with a "Multi-Arch: foreign" field.
