Adept won't start up anymore

[manuelkuhs]

I accidentally deactivated all repositories in Adept, and the next time I tried to restart the program, the following error message came up:

"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."

I am presuming this is due to having no active repositories, since that is the only change I made.

Any help on how to get Adept up-and-running again is much appreciated!

try these commands:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

or if that doesn't work

sudo apt-get -f install

Just a quit thank you for the commands. The first one fixed an issue I was having with Adept Installer. When it started to read the system DB, I would get a message stating that another program had a lock on that DB. I looked at the processes and found 2 "adept_installer" running. Killing one (I shudder doing that) had no effect, so I was browsing the forum and ran across this posting.

Thanks again!
