Can't load Adept

[DracoTB]

When I try to load Adept or the Adept manager it tells me that some other process is using the database. What would cause this and what do I do to repair it?

The Crash handler comes up if I tell the program to try to repair the problem.

Re: Can't load Adept

You can only use Synaptic OR Adept OR Apt-get OR Update Manager etc. one at a time One package manager at a time. They all want to access just one database - so you can't have two doing this together.

If you set up Kubuntu without an active Internet connection then it is possible it has disabled your sources list.

First try to clear the problem by connecting to the Internet, opening Konsole Terminal Program and issuing the command

sudo apt-get update

If it moves on that, then also use

sudo apt-get upgrade

Secondly, if that doesn't work you should copy and paste the contents of your sources list here so that we can see it. Open a terminal and issue the command

kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list

Re: Can't load Adept

Ok, thanx for that. It appears that I had a half installed program - one that I thought I had removed - interfering. Had to use DPKG to correct it.

Re: Can't load Adept

Ok, Adept and Adept Manager has decided it doesn't like me again . This happened after I added another repository to it. When I try to open Adept now I get

The APT Database could not be opened! This may be caused by incorrect APT configuration or some similar problem. Try running apt-setup and apt-get update in terminal and see if it helps to resolve the problem.

apt-setup tells me that it's an unknown command and apt-get update tells me there's a problem with a repository address on line 59.

Any other suggestions on how to fix this?
