How do I stop adept from auto-removing my important programs?!

[Smatt454]

A few weeks back I was messing around on my virtual machine. Now if I want to install a package through adept....it tells me that I have unmet dependencies.

When I run apt-get -f install I get this error.

The following extra packages will be installed:
emacs22 emacs22-bin-common emacs22-common
Suggested packages:
emacs22-el
The following packages will be REMOVED:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
emacs22
The following packages will be upgraded:
emacs22-bin-common emacs22-common
2 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 360 to remove and 42 not upgraded.
2 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 20.7MB of archives.
After unpacking 1224MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

apt-get autoremove obviously just tells me to use -f.

What the heck do I do...I can't have adept uninstall all of these packages (especially adept itself)

is there anything besides a clean install

Re: How do I stop adept from auto-removing my important programs?!

What version of Kubuntu are you running? Do you still have the cdrom repository 'active' in Adept Manager? If you do, uncheck/remove it. Then run:

sudo apt-get update

to refresh the package caches.
