That's not a fix. That is called a workaround.
The fact is, there are still multiple bug in this 32-in-64 wrapper
thing. Because of the severe problems people were having with this,
choking up their linux workstations, I banned it from the network
altogether. I needed it for acroreader and flash. They do not provide
proper 64-bit versions, or uptodate versions of their product. No
64-bit acroread at all. Okular or evince is good enough as a pdf
reader plugin, and for flash there really is no proper substitute. I
hope some company will give some funding to bring Gnash up to the
level of support that the windows platform enjoys. I lost all faith in
good things coming from Adobe.
No photoshop for linux, no proper flash, no proper pdf reader, let
alone creator.
Still Adobe is an important provider of standards like PDF, flash,
postscript, so I hope that they do get their act together soon.
They are too important for linux indirectly to die. Otherwise I would
not care about them.
