OK. What does the following say?

$ COLUMNS=160 dpkg -l \*acroread\*

Also, how about this? (It gets the current package info on all
packages starting with "acroread" that dpkg has handled at some
point).

$ sed -ne '/^Package: acroread/,/^$/p' /var/lib/dpkg/status

The latter may be quite a few lines -- you may want to redirect the
output to a file to capture it all.

Finally, what does this give you?

$ ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/info/acroread*
