Upgraded to Gutsy... or maybe not, according to adept-updater

[myxal]

Hi. After upgrading to Gutsy, adept-updater wants me to upgrade to Gutsy - again.
Anyone else with this problem?

Strangely, Adept manager doesn't say anything about 'distribution upgrade' after fetching filelists... I should note that I had problems with adept when I was upgrading from alternate CD, so I installed synaptic's update-manager, which carried out the upgrade. More here.

Do this in a terminal:

lsb_release -a

you should get something like this:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 7.10
Release: 7.10
Codename: gutsy

Oh, and it also says "No LSB modules are available." just before those 4 lines - is that OK?

yes that should be fine, I get that to.

oops, oh wait... adept manager displays "version upgrade" too! seems like something borked with adept in general...

No, it's doing that for everyone/lots of folks. If you click "Version Upgrade", it will take a very long time to get around to informing you about a handful of "no longer supported" packages, and then it won't do anything with them anyway. I ran it 3 times over the weekend, and it always ended the same. Just ignore it -- hopefully they'll fix it this week.

My fresh install of Gutsy worked like a charm until one of the phantom "upgrades" happened. Since then, Adept and Kwalletmanager are pooched. Adept won't shut down and I have to manually kill it and kwalletmanager cannot be found on system by any apps even though it is staring me in the face. I removed it so I could re-install it, but kpackage says that the package cannot be verified and won't do it. I used the CLI to install with the -f flag and it worked, but the original issue where it cannot be found still exists.

Not impressed.

Adept still seems to be playing its old ticks. I wish they could finally get that act together. Never did like it. >
My solution is install synaptic and the ubuntu notifier.

Just my somewhat flaming 2c's

Glad to see I'm not the only one getting this problem. I upgraded from Feisty to the RC, relatively problem-free, except for this strange bug.

Today's update seems to have fixed the problem! (Did the upgrade through aptitude, just to be sure)
Cheers!

Have to totally agree with Fintan. Install and use Synaptic package manager. It just works.
