January 3, 2014
An update that contains security fixes can now be installed.
Description
Adobe discontinued the Adobe Reader 9 for Linux in June
2013 and has not fixed and will not fix any further
security issues in it.
As there is no new version, it is officially out of support.

Installing this update will deinstall the plugin package to
