Adept and kpackage not working (SOLVED)

[Merlijn]

I get a msg saying that some process is using or locking the database and have tried sudo killall for adept, kpackage aptitude and apt-get (no process killed) are there other processes that can do this, and how can i stop them?
Help would be very appreciated!

Hum when you first search at the right text... solved with:

Open a konsole and run the following:
sudo dpkg --configure -a

and if that does not work

sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install

It worked for me but be careful what autoremove wants to remove

I tried your solution but I am still getting a blocked database message.
