I'll summarise:
1. Was running Edgy.
2. Often wondered why you can't upgrade to Fiesty via Adept.
3. Three days ago hit the "Fetch Updates" on Adept and discovered I can upgrade to Fiesty.
4. Process begun. I have slow internet so the program told me it would take quite a long time (1 1/2 days).
5. After 5 hours of downloading, my ISP cut off internet access to me and thousands of others for maintenance.
6. Next day I open Adept and discovered lots of upgrades.
7. I begin upgrading.
8. Adept informs me that entire upgrade would be 1001 megabytes.
9. I make decision to download 100M or so at a time at night.
10. Last night it didn't download anything.
11. Then I begin to get following message : "There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages. "
12. I tried to do it again and somehow stuffed it up. A message said "You will not be able to change your system settings in any way (install, remove or upgrade software), because 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."
13. Came here to this site and read <a href="http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...83869.0">Adept Installer Problems</a> on thread below.
14. I go through and do "sudo dpkg --configure -a", "sudo apt-get -f install", "sudo apt-get autoremove" and "sudo apt-get autoclean".
15. Start Adept again.
16. Message mentioned in point 12 above now gone.
17. Message from point 11 above remains.
