Adobe woes

[Howard Howell]

    Ladies and Gentlemen,
    I downloaded the Adobe reader RPM and attempted to install it.  Not
only does Reader not work, but it seems to have broken Evince.  Moreover
I cannot see how to remove Adobe Reader.

    Any pointers anyone?

Regards,
Les H

This is one to google - I recall an issue with Adobe Reader that had to be 
resolved by a small edit in one of the scripts it installs. 

As regards Evince, no idea - both Reader and Evince are working on this FC6 
machine on which I'm typing

I did google it, but I was googling for how to remove it.  Frank Cox
provided the link to a patch to the Adobe script, and when implemented
it works.  Kudos to you for responding, and to Frank for looking past my
myopia and pointing out the right solution.

Same thing to me, except for Evince is still working. I solved this 
situation with a clean install of Adobe Reader 7.0.1.

Check the archives for this thread.  Mr. Cox provided me with the edits
for the Adobe script.  They were in line in the message, I think the
second or 
third one in the thread.
