Internet working? Does /etc/apt/sources.list have the right entries? apt-get update spits out what? |

I don't see adobereader-enu as an option on my 12.04 system. The .i386 on your error makes me think you are running a 64-bit system, so you may not need it. If you are still getting errors, try removing adobereader-bin.
I find Adobe too slow and cumbersom and run Foxit with Wine. They have a Linux version but it is old and out of date. |

adobereader-enu is from an older version of Ubuntu. You should be able to remove it with the first command I gave. It is causing a dependency problem which is keeping your system from being able to install any new software or run updates. You can also try the following, and then run the commands I gave above. sudo apt-get install -f
said by man apt-get : -f, --fix-broken Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place. This option, when used with install/remove, can omit any packages to permit APT to deduce a likely solution. If packages are specified, these have to completely correct the problem. The option is sometimes necessary when running APT for the first time; APT itself does not allow broken package dependencies to exist on a system. It is possible that a system's dependency structure can be so corrupt as to require manual intervention (which usually means using dselect(1) or dpkg --remove to eliminate some of the offending packages). Use of this option together with -m may produce an error in some situations. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Fix-Broken. |

Open a terminal, such as gnome-terminal, run the commands I listed above. Copy the entire output and paste it here. |

apt-get is a simple command line interface for downloading and installing packages. The most frequently used commands are update and install.
Commands: update - Retrieve new lists of packages upgrade - Perform an upgrade install - Install new packages (pkg is libc6 not libc6.deb) remove - Remove packages autoremove - Remove automatically all unused packages purge - Remove packages and config files source - Download source archives build-dep - Configure build-dependencies for source packages dist-upgrade - Distribution upgrade, see apt-get(8) dselect-upgrade - Follow dselect selections clean - Erase downloaded archive files autoclean - Erase old downloaded archive files check - Verify that there are no broken dependencies changelog - Download and display the changelog for the given package download - Download the binary package into the current directory
Options: -h This help text. -q Loggable output - no progress indicator -qq No output except for errors -d Download only - do NOT install or unpack archives -s No-act. Perform ordering simulation -y Assume Yes to all queries and do not prompt -f Attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place -m Attempt to continue if archives are unlocatable -u Show a list of upgraded packages as well -b Build the source package after fetching it -V Show verbose version numbers -c=? Read this configuration file -o=? Set an arbitrary configuration option, eg -o dir::cache=/tmp See the apt-get(8), sources.list(5) and apt.conf(5) manual pages for more information and options. This APT has Super Cow Powers.
