acroread wants libXt.so.6 and can't find it.
Is it installed?

Note that pkgdb can fix what its own database thinks are the
dependencies for acroread, but if acroread *actually* needs
linux_base-7, then, well, that's what it needs.  You might be able to
get away with just copying in the libraries that acroread complains
are missing.
