The print/acroread port was updated from Acroread 5 to Acroread 7 about
a week ago. A few days ago it was changed back to Acroread 5, while the
print/acroread7 port was created for Acroread 7.

So your ports collection is out-of-date, but only by a few days. :-)


I did not have any problems when I installed either of them on a fairly
clean system a few days ago. (I originally installed print/acroread
when it was a version 7, and the deinstalled it and installed version 5
when the port was changed back.)

For me teh linux-libraries it depends on was pulled in automatically,
just like they are supposed to be, so I it is something local to your
system.
