Adept won't update

[Guest]

I upgraded to Kubuntu 7.04 on wed. 4-18 and when I try to update Adept says system is up to date, can that be after 2 days and no updates ?

Re: Adept won't update

Depending on what packages you have installed, that may well be correct (that there weren't any updates in the past 2 days).

When I get that nervous feeling -- the one you are having -- here's what I do in the console:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

sudo apt-get autoremove

sudo apt-get autoclean

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install

If you don't get any action out of your system as a result of that sequence, then you can rest easy -- nothing's happening!

For a little drama, there's always

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

which has some potential of breaking things like custom-installed graphics drivers ...

Thanks, I was thinking about doing configure -a, think I will wait a day or so. Thanks again

I was having a separate issue where I couldn't perform an update using neither adept nor apt-get. I was getting errors regarding some corrupted .gz files. The steps you outlined fixed it outright, except all the servers seem to choke but that's another issue. Thanks!
