Adept Manager onwards and upwards

[Jerry]

I feel this deserves  a new topic. KUBUNTU 6.06

I have been trying to download new software applications for  2 weeks, I'm getting closer but as yet have not succeeded.

My first posting was when ADEPT would not list any headers at all. Much reading of this forum caused me to :-

[1] add the DNS addresses of my ISP in the Network Settings (I thank iumenum for that). This produced header downloads.

But all attempts at software downloads failed with an error of "BREAK, followed with COULD NOT COMMIT CHANGES"

[2] then I edited the repositories source to the one listed below, this  was produced by source-o-matic. The download just hangs and then reports "Could not commit change".

Listing   etc/apt.source.list

Can anyone see what I've done wrong or suggest any further action.

Thanks for looking anyway
