FYI, in case any of you deploy Adobe's Acrobat reader on SL4 from a
private repository (due to the license that forbids any wider 
re-distribution):

The "latest" version officially compatible with RHEL4 is acroread-7.0.9, 
but this currently has open security holes (CVE-2007-5663 et al).
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa08-01.html still 
says (as of today, i.e. 2 weeks after the initial announcement):

> Acrobat and Adobe Reader 7.0.9 and earlier versions are also affected
> by these vulnerabilities. Adobe will provide further information as 
> to the nature of the vulnerabilities via the company's Security 
> Bulletins and Advisories page once updates are available for all
> affected versions of Acrobat and Adobe Reader.

acoread-8.1.2 (which is patched) requires RHEL5 as per Adobe (libgtk+2.6 
?). It appears that despite this requirement, it happily runs under 4 as 
well.. at least for the limited use we foresee over here.

.spec file attached, in case somebody is interested. Sorry for not being 
able to provide the real RPMs..

Regards
Jan

%description

Adobe Reader is part of the Adobe Acrobat family of software,

which lets you view, distribute, and print documents in Portable

Document Format (PDF)--regardless of the computer, operating system,

fonts, or application used to create the original file.



PDF files retain all the formatting, fonts, and graphics of the

original document, and virtually any PostScript(TM) document can

be converted into a PDF file. Adobe Acrobat Reader has a plug-in

for Mozilla/Firefox to view PDF files inline.

### workaround for PPKLite.api failing to load - this does a dlopen(libldap.so).

### would require the 32bit openldap-devel RPM to be installed everywhere otherwise.

###  do not use libdir - we need the 32bit libraries.
