Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: acroread

I added a launchpad repository containing acroread to my sources.list -
and apt-get upgrade broke my dpkg when it downloaded
acroread_9.4.1-1lucid1_amd64.deb and tried to install it. I had been
using that repository for a while, all earlier versions of acroread
worked fine. This one just made dpkg crash so that I had to kill -9 it.
Now every time I run dpkg - from apt-get, from aptitude, or directly -
it just freezes and turns zombie until I kill it.

This is what I got (I tend to activate root login under Ubuntu, since I
like doing some serious admin work on the console):

root@aphrodite:~# dpkg -i acroread_9.4.1-1lucid1_amd64.deb 
(Lese Datenbank ... 632800 Dateien und Verzeichnisse sind derzeit installiert.)
Vorbereiten zum Ersetzen von acroread 9.4-1lucid1 (durch acroread_9.4.1-1lucid1_amd64.deb) ...

As you can see, I'm German. But the interesting messages are in English.
