adept installer is broken

[seaofpepsi48456]

There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages.



What does it mean when adept installer says,database is locked?

Re: adept installer is broken

There's a fancy "package manager" in the guts of your Linux system that Adept (and Synaptic) are designed to hide from you, while providing easy access to the application packages.

When there's a problem of the type you describe, you need to close Adept, open your Konsole, and enter the following:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install

sudo apt-get autoclean

This will normally straighten out the problem with the package manager, load and install any missing updates, and then clean out the cache.

Re: adept installer is broken

the only code that worked is update.

the others that didn't are as follows:

dale1958@pepsinut666:~$ sudo apt-get install
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
dale1958@pepsinut666:~$ sudo apt-get autoclean
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
dale1958@pepsinut666:~$ sudo dkpg --configure -a
sudo: dkpg: command not found

Re: adept installer is broken

how do i run the terminal when it won't run on it's own?

Re: adept installer is broken



It looks like you had it running correctly before -- I see a "dale1958@pepsinut666:~$" prompt. Do what you did when you ran it like that!

Re: adept installer is broken

the terminal won't do anything after i put in the codes.
and what does this mean?
[sudo] password for dale1958
and i can't type it in?

sorry i have so many questions

Re: adept installer is broken

The password does not show on the screen when you type it. Just type it in (carefully -- no errors allowed) and hit "Enter" and the prompt should come up with a $_ for you. Or if you are using "sudo" for the command, it will execute the command.
