Oooos! I manage to send this before finishing the sentence. I was
going to say I don't know why the acroread-debian-files could not be
found. If you have the multimedia site set up in your
/etc/apt/sources.list correctly then they it should be found OK

The Opera error can be resolved by using gpg to download the key
mentioned and using apt-key (I think) to add it to the list of keys
apt knows about. I am not sure of the syntax you should use as I
cannot find the command in .bash_history from last time I did it
