adobe is in German

Adobe is a COMPANY name, It's like saying you install Microsoft to mean Windows. Its ridiculous.

Adobe make a slew of softwares including but not limited to:
Dreamwever
Flash
Reader
Photoshop (various)

Please refer to it as adobe reader to save confusion in future as it is much clearer.

If you run:

dpkg -l | grep -i adob

what is output?

Sorry, it should have been adobe reader
