Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: acroread

When starting acroread from the command line I see :-

$ acroread 2>&1 | more
expr: syntax error
expr: syntax error
expr: syntax error
expr: syntax error
expr: syntax error
expr: syntax error
expr: syntax error
expr: syntax error
expr: syntax error
....

This seems to be because the script tries to get the verion number from
libgtk and fails ... the file I have installed is :-

libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1106.0

Add in set -x to the script it starts to fail when getting the version
number :-

+ echo libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1106.0
+ sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g'
+ return 0
+ version=''
+ [ 0 -ne 0 ]
+ expr length
expr: syntax error
