Need help please

[Guest]

Recently I installed Kubuntu 7.10. When I tried to make the update requested ny the sistem, I received an error message telling me that the update couldn„t be finshed because some packages were incomplet or installing them might harm the computer. After that, every time I try to start the package manager, I receive amessage telling me that another instance is using the Adept Manager.
Here is the message report I received after I tried to make the first update:

Re: Need help please

From either the CLI (aka "text prompt) or, if you are able to log into your KDE desktop, from the Konsole, issue

sudo dpkg --configure -a

then

sudo apt-get update

then

sudo apt-get install

and you should be back in business.
