A problem with installing the acroread-debian-files package

When I try installing the acroread-debian-files package, I get the following error:

# apt-get install acroread-debian-files
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  acroread-debian-files: Depends: acroread but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

If I try installing with acroread, I get:
# apt-get install acroread acroread-debian-files
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
acroread is already the newest version.
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  acroread: Conflicts: acroread-debian-files (<= 0.0.8) but 0.0.8 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I have even tried uninstalling the acroread package first and then installing the acroread-debian-files and still no joy.

I think the acroread-debian-files is broken.

Is this perhaps depricated?

A lot of what it says it provides appears to already come with the acroread package itself.

Thanks.
