I see it available in Debian's Squeeze repos. You will probably find it in Lenny as well.

More than likely you'll have to add the 'Contrib' repo.

Hi loopback,

Thanks for your advice.

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.hk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.hk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main
deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main

deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free

'Contrib' repo is already on source.list

However I couldn't find Adobe Reader on repo;

$ apt-cache search firefox | grep mozilla

mozilla-firefox-adblock - AdBlock extension for the Iceweasel and Iceape web browsers
mozilla-imagezoom - Mozilla context menu option to zoom current image
mozilla-plugin-gnash - free SWF movie player - Plugin for Mozilla and derivatives
mozilla-plugin-vlc - multimedia plugin for web browsers based on VLC

$ apt-cache search mozilla | grep firefox

All I did to find it was search for 'adobe' using Synaptic. I'm not use it at the moment but it was there.

I don't see, by your examples, that you're searching for it. If you are using a terminal: apt-cache search adobe . Or aptitude search adobe. One of the results should be 'acroread'.

Hi loopback,

Thanks for your advice. I already have acroread installed after adding debian-multimedia.org repo.

$ apt-cache policy acroread

acroread:
  Installed: 8.1.6-0.0
  Candidate: 8.1.6-0.0
  Version table:
 *** 8.1.6-0.0 0
        500 ftp://ftp.debian-multimedia.org lenny/main Packages

Thanks

I always add the multia-media and contrib repos as a matter of habit. Can't do much without them. One can install all that is needed with them added to the repository list. Glad you've got what you needed.

satimis, you're a good man. I don't care what they say about you.
