    Adept Won't Download Packages

    For some reason, Adept wont download packages. When i try to download/install them all i get is
    "there was an error commiting changes. possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages"
    I had a look here for the answer but i didn't seem to work, can anyone here help?

    Have you tried to install one package (and different ones for that matter)?
    Sometimes, adept sees a conflicting package. But that shouldn't happen.

    And can you give us the contents of the file "sources.list", which is located in /etc/apt

        Code:
        sudo dpkg --configure -a
        Fixes that error for me 99.98% of the time... you ran that command specifically?

          I have done on previous errors with Adept, and it seemed to work, but if it happens again, i'll use that, as after a quick re-install, the problem seems to have gone.

          Edit:// Seems i spoke too soon I'll use the code....

            A lot of times if you do "sudo apt-get upgrade" from the command line you will get a more specific error message telling you exactly what is holding things up. Just make sure you close Adept before trying that or it won't work.

                Re: Adept Won't Download Packages

                Try this.

                Close adept, and open Konsole from Kmenu-system-Konsole.

                Type in
                Code:
                sudo dpkg --configure -a
                Then try adept. If that fails use this:


                Type in
                Code:
                sudo apt-get install -f
                After that has finished, type:
                Code:
                sudo dpkg --configure -a
                Then type
                Code:
                sudo apt-get autoremove
                Then type
                Code:
                sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean
                And then finally
                Code:
                sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
