acroread-4.05-6 freshly downloaded from ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/redhat-7.0/powertools/i386/RedHat/RPMS crashes and/or displays garbage on various files including its own licence and is basically unusable. Reproducing: acroread /usr/lib/acroread/Reader/License.pdf Environment: RH 7.0 with updated glibc and kernel 2.4.0-test12.
Update: only behaves this way if a 24 bit X11 visual is selected. No problem for 32-bit one.
It's not possible to fix this problem, because we only have a binary version von Adobe. Notice: We don't have this package in the next release of Redhat 7.1. I will try to ask Adobe for fixing this problem.
