I can't install or update anything ATM because I, apparently, have an update package already running. How do I stop it?

Re: Update package running in background
Are you trying to use both Kpackagekit and the Konsole (apt-get)? You can only use one or the other, at a given time.
The command "top" will show all running processes, and if you see one that looks like adept updater or something, you can issue "kill" and the process ID number to kill it. If it is a root-owned process, you'll have to use "sudo".
of course also pretty well resets things to a known state.Code:sudo shutdown -r now

Re: Update package running in background
I had tried to use 1, got an error, and then tried to use the other to fix the error. This resulted in the background error. Went back to console and tried apt-get again and it came back with the correct dpkg command to fix it. So it is now fixed.
