This bug is caused by multiple issues.

The AMD64 deb that is available depends on ia32-libs, but this
transitional package is not installable at all on Ubuntu Precise. It
depends on 32-bit libraries that still conflict with 64-bit libraries.

MultiArch support is broken regarding architecture independent packages.
There is no such thing as acroread-common:i386 because acroread-common
is an architecture independent "all" package and the exact same package
can be used with both the 64-bit and 32-bit version. MultiArch somehow
adds :i386 everywhere, but this is nonsense in this case. It should not
do that with "all" packages and just use the plain version.

Of course, it's also silly that acroread can't be compiled for AMD64.
