Problem Updating

[gunman]

When I try to update, after kubuntu downloads all the updates I get this message when it tries to install the updates:
"There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages. "

Now I cannot even install Compiz-Fusion in my computer...I get the same message...
What do I do?

Thanks

Re: Problem Updating

If you have a 'fresh intall' of Gutsy, then:

For Gutsy Installations:

Open Adept Manager (K Menu | System | Adept Manger) and click on Adept | Manage Repositories. On the first tab, check all items (you don't need the last item checked unless you intend to download source files for compiling). On the Third-Party Software tab uncheck/delete the cdrom repository entry. Close the window. If Adept doesn't automatically fetch updates, click on Fetch Updates. You will now have access to the thousands of available packages. If you still have problems, open a console and type:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

If you still have issues with Adept, then:

To fix Adept errors:

Open a console and type:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

should fix it, else continue with

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install

Re: Problem Updating

Hi, I can confirm that Snowhog's fix works. That is, once adept_updater had crashed, and before rebooting, I opened a command shell window and executed the following commands:-

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install

Then reboot.

I don't know whether the original problem is broken dependency lists or just too many updates at once for Adept Updater, but the system seems OK after that.

I didn't change the Repository lists, but I was able to pick and choose some add-on packages in Adept Manager after rebooting.
