Having installed Adobe Acrobat Reader (acroread) from the Canonical Partner repository on a client computer (Ubuntu 12.04), I was asked if I could turn off the automatic updates.

So, does Acrobat Reader update itself or are the updates handled by the package managers like for all the other programs?

And how to disable automatic updates for Acrobat Reader?

if Acrobat Rearder is installed using deb, you hold the package in the following way echo "package hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections

  • I did not download a deb-file from Adobe's webpage, if that is what you mean. As mentioned, it is installed from the Canonical Partner repository. But does that command still work? – ANisus Mar 26 '14 at 23:24
  • in the repository you have deb files and this file are manipulate by apt, use the command "dpkg -l | grep -i adobe" – c4f4t0r Mar 26 '14 at 23:25
