Not those, they are part of really ancient linux packages which
provide part of a linux emulation environment. f10 == Fedora 10.

Here is more info on the state of the linux emu, there is
work being done to update it to fedora 19 or 20, centos 6 or 7
and some more recent linux-kernel emulation (even for 64bit linux).

Acrobat itself no longer supports acroread9, and 10+11 are not
provided for linux anymore. So: It's a real issue, and I know no
solution.

I use xpdf for most PDF stuff. There are other PDF display programs
but as far as I understand, most use the same core (poppler).

There is graphics/mupdf, which probably uses a different core, maybe
it does what you need ?
