      Hi,
     I executed on the command line of centos 6 "rpm -q glibc" and "rpm 
-q atk" after i installed adobe reader, and the output of both were :
       #rpm -q glibc
        glibc-2.12-1.25.el6_1.3.x86_64
        glibc-2.12-1.25.el6-1.3.i686

       #rpm -q atk
        atk-1.28.0-2.el6.x86_64
        atk-1.28.0-2.el6.i66

      I'm thinking that with the "el6", they along with the other 
dependencies adobe needed,  were not downgraded
