    adept manager problem

    In the past few weeks adept manager has started behaving oddly.

    I can no longer launch it from the Run Command dialog (Alt+F2) or the K menu, both of which bring up the kdesu dialog. After entering my password, it just thinks without launching Adept. However, I can run Adept from the command line (sudo adept_manager).

    Further, once I launch adept manager, I can't get to the repositories manager from the menu item (Adept > Manage Repositories)...nothing happens. I can still manually edit /etc/adept/sources.list and it is properly read by Adept.

    I've tried reinstalling Adept, but no change.

    Can anyone provide some help fixing this?

    Re: adept manager problem

    Open the Konsole and do the following:

    Code:
    sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get autoclean
    No guarantee -- you haven't been using Automatix, have you?


    Also, I would not advise running apt-get update, or using Adept Manager to update, until the bug reported here is fixed, which should be only a couple of days.

      No Automatix...but your suggestion didn't work. Any other ideas?

        If you can use Kate to open /etc/apt/sources.list, and post it here, maybe we'll be able to see the problem.

          Here you go (but this doesn't address why I can only open from the command line)...
