** Description changed:

  Please add 'acroread' package to the Partner repository for Ubuntu Saucy
  and Trusty.
  
  lsb_release -rd
  Description: Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch)
  Release: 14.04
  
  apt-cache policy acroread
  acroread:
-   Installed: 9.5.5-1raring1
-   Candidate: 9.5.5-1raring1
-   Version table:
-  *** 9.5.5-1raring1 0
-         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
+   Installed: 9.5.5-1raring1
+   Candidate: 9.5.5-1raring1
+   Version table:
+  *** 9.5.5-1raring1 0
+         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
  
  What is expected to happen in a new install of either Xubuntu Saucy or
  Trusty, is acroread is available once the Partner repository is enabled.
  
  What happens instead is it's not available as per
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acroread .
  
  WORKAROUND: In Saucy, a work around is to install the deb files from
  Precise.
  
  WORKAROUND: In Trusty, install wine1.7 from Wine PPA
  https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa and install Adobe Reader
  9.5.0 Windows 7 English from www.adobe.com/reader.
  
+ WORKAROUND: In Trusty:
+ wget && ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.5/enu/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb && sudo dpkg -i AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb
+ 
  Attempted failed work arounds for Trusty amd64:
  1) It crashes consistently Installing package nspluginwrapper, then download and install:
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acroread/9.5.5-1raring1/+build/4580418/+files/acroread_9.5.5-1raring1_amd64.deb
  http://launchpadlibrarian.net/139929201/acroread-bin_9.5.5-1raring1_i386.deb

  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acroread/9.5.5-1raring1/+build/4580419/+files/acroread_9.5.5-1raring1_i386.deb
  
  2) Download the file from www.adobe.com/reader and attempt to run it:
  sudo ./AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.bin
  sudo: ./AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.bin: command not found

- 3) Attempted to download Adobe provided .deb from:
- ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.5/enu/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb
