Public bug reported:

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.
