adept trouble

[mpaluszk]

Adept keeps feeding me this stupid error whenever I try to install anything from it:

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

I am running 7.10. any hints?

Re: adept trouble

I'd say do these, in a Konsole window:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install

sudo apt-get autoclean

If you're still getting that error, try a

sudo apt-get -f install

I don't know what was going on last night (U.S. Eastern time) but I was getting all kinds of "server not found" messages and stuff like that, which is unusual for my location. Sometimes you just need to wait 24 hours to update. :P

Re: adept trouble

I haven't seen any updates on my end for quite a while? Has there been any lately? I'll try a reload and see if anything pops up.

Re: adept trouble

Yes, I had updates and an upgrade this evening. Whatever was the problem yesterday is no problem tonight.

Re: adept trouble

Odd. Did a fetch updates here and nothing shows, of course I keep Pre-released Updates and Unsupported Updates checked so maybe I received those updates already?

Redo each command. After the last one, copy/paste the results of all for a review.

Re: adept trouble

its strange, I got it when I tried to do a large amount of updates, but when I did just one program for my wife, it worked just fine...
