adept wont open

[djuniah]

im having issues opening adept. I get the following error message

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.

Then when i try to run sudo apt-get update i get THIS error:

Reading package lists... Error!
W: GPG error: http://kubuntu.org breezy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A506E6D4DD4D5088
W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://kubuntu.org breezy/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/kubuntu.org_packages_kde35_dists_breezy_main_binar y-i386_Packages)

E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net_ubuntu_dists_breezy_univers e_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

I saw in a forum that adding

APT::Cache-Limit "10000000";

to apt.conf would help. but it did nothing...any ideas?

Re: adept wont open

Don't worry about the GPG problem, for now. It's not causing your problem. You should edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file to eliminate the duplication that may be causing your problem. You seem to have two identical source list entries. #comment out one of them. If the dupe is something to do with kde35, then you may have found your problem.

If that doesn't work, you're going to have to take a look at the file in /var/lib/apt/lists/ that apt-get is complaining about. If worse comes to worst, you can delete it and then run an apt-get update.

Re: adept wont open

I personally had to manually delete the file, as I couldn't find the repository line, but after deleting it, apt-get worked again, and so does adept_manager.
