Thomas,
Okay, I'm totally crazy.
I restored the /lib/libncurses.so.5.6 back and now acroread works!
I guess I should have tried that before I submitted the bug report ;(
I have no idea what happened. But I can tell you that if I remove the
link
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Aug 13 22:39 libncurses.so.5 ->
libncurses.so.5.6
I get this if I run acroread:
(from memory) "acroread" is a shell script which sets up environmment for
the actual Acrobat Reader. bash and other shells use the termcap
interface provided by ncurses.
/bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
But lots of things depend on /lib/libncurses.so.5 link.
What I got from reading the first message was that there was some
difference between ncurses 5.5 and ncurses 5.6 which is breaking
something. That wouldn't be specific to acroread (unless there's
some odd environment variable set within that script which in turn
modifies some other script, etc).
So I believe acroread is using libncurses.
Very sorry about all of this.
Rick
I don't see any explicit use of ncurses in the tar file...
