Can't run adept; error message: another process using packaging system database

[dgbraun]

I updated KDE on Kubuntu last night, and this morning, when I try to open Adept Manager, I keep getting a screen saying: "Another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude). Please close the other application before using this one. Database Locked."
Where do I go to stop this process(es) so that I can use Adept or any update manager, for that matter? I tried system settings/system administration/system services, but that didn't work.
Any suggestions?

Thanks
DG
