while unpacking the packages, it stopped..and it says "There was an error committing changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages." and then after that whenever i open the adept manager it prompts that another process is using the packaging system...how am i going to resolve this?

Re: Full Upgrade Error?
we should be able to fix this.
pls, close adept or any other gui that manages packages.
open up a konsole.
enter the following commands:
this will get you a root shell (administrator's commands interpreter)Code:sudo -i
you should be very careful as to what you type from now on.
this will update the packages cache based on your new repositories files.Code:apt-get update
you should end up with a series of hit messages and something like
in case of error messages here, it means you cannot reach all your repositories....
Fetched 6B in 1s (5B/s)
Reading package lists... Done
which in turn means you cannot update properly.
this will install whatever adept left behind and fix any broken dependencies.Code:apt-get install --fix-broken
see if this help...
pls, post back any error messages or questions if you're unsure.
cheers
