Hello, thank you very much for your help!


> acroread? Ok just kidding,

sorry, I, uhh.. like it ;-)



> but did you try reinstalling the acroread package?

I just did,  but all the (bad) behaviour is the same.



> Maybe it has some new patches.

I looked in the changelog (I'm not 100% sure but I think that it was
the latest update that broke acroread galeon plugin - it worked in
fresh etch install, then broke after next update):

  acroread (7.0.9-0.2sarge1) stable; urgency=low
    * Added patch from Jean-Christophe Dubacq to add support for latest
      libgtk2 library name.

  acroread (7.0.9-0.1sarge1) stable; urgency=low
    * Don't install fonts in /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1
   -- Christian Marillat <mar...@de...>  Sat, 13 Jan 2007 16:28:26 +0100

To give full information - I'm using this debian repository:

    deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main



> Does the standalone acroread work?

yes.

> Does the plugin work in Firefox/Seamonkey?

yes, it works in debian Iceweasel. In fact currently I'm using galeon
for everything except for opening URLs to .pdf files. Fortunately
galeon crashes gracefully when I click on .pdf by mistake, and
remembers everything needed to restore the session ;-)

And I open .pdf URLs in Iceweasel. (Iceweasel is debian's Firefox - ice/fire, fox/weasel ;).

To be honest I'm not good at understanding ldd's output. As I read
this - I don't see any error here, but maybe you do?

And, finally, just to be sure, that I don't have some wrong versions
of this file:
