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
