Can't start Adept...

[goye2cz]

Hi,

I broke something. Apparently it didn't like a package I tried to install and now I can't even start Adept. I get this error:

Another process is using the packaging system database blah blah...
Would you like to attempt to resolve this problem?

Clicking yes gives me the KDE Crash Handler. Backtrace produces this:

Re: Can't start Adept...

To fix Adept errors:
Open a console and type:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

should fix it, else continue with

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install
