[SOLVED]Adept not working

[srikar]

When i open adept i get this error
Another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude).
Would you like to attempt to resolve this problem? No will enter read-only mode and Cancel to quit and resolve this issue yourself.

However i did not open add or remove programs and even i am not performing apt-get at terminal. What may be the problem

Re: Adept not working

Possible that Adept Notifier is running in the background??

Re: Adept not working

This happened after i downloaded jdk.

when i run
sudo dpkg --configure -a
i get this

srikar@opensource:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up sun-java6-doc (6-03-0ubuntu2) ...
This package is an installer package, it does not actually contain the
JDK documentation. You will need to go download one of the
archives:

  jdk-6-doc.zip jdk-6-doc-ja.zip

(choose the non-update version if this is the first installation).
Please visit

  [url]http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/[/url]

now and download. The file should be owned by root.root and be copied
to /tmp.

[Press RETURN to try again, 'no' + RETURN to abort]

Now my adept and apt-get arent working : ( . How to fix this problem??

Re: Adept not working

As u can c in the previous post , the notification it gave me when i ran dpkg --configure -a

This package is an installer package, it does not actually contain the
JDK documentation. You will need to go download one of the
archives:

jdk-6-doc.zip jdk-6-doc-ja.zip

(choose the non-update version if this is the first installation).
Please visit

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/

now and download. The file should be owned by root.root and be copied
to /tmp.

So what i did was:-
I downloaded JDK documentation from its site and i placed it in /tmp folder. Then i ran dpkg --configure -a.It automatically installed jdk doc from there.Now adept is working
