I can not uninstall adobereader 9.5.5. I get always this message

    ~$ sudo apt-get remove adobereader-en
    [sudo] Passwort für felix:    
    Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
    Abhängigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut.       
    Statusinformationen werden eingelesen.... Fertig
    E: Paket adobereader-en kann nicht gefunden werden.

Translation:

    ~$ sudo apt-get remove adobereader-en
    [sudo] Password for felix:    
    Package lists are read... Done 
    Dependency tree is set up.
    Status information is read .... Done
    E: package adobereader-en can not be found.

I am using Ubuntu 18.04

Assuming that package was installed with apt earlier. It don't work for Wine apps etc.

Use

apt list --installed adobe*

to search installed packages. If you find what you want uninstall, then 

sudo apt purge package_name

where package_name is obviously name of package you want to get rid of found with previous command.

Edit

In this particular situation 

sudo apt purge adobereader-enu
