Adept crashes when updating adept related packages

[Vivien Taillandier]

The bug appears when updating a new installed kubuntu Feisty.
I got no problem fetching updates, downloading packages, but the application crashes when updating itself.

I need to run a "apt-get install -f" in a terminal to solve the problem.

Hi Vivien,

Could you please look for the crash report in /var/crash/ and attach it to this bug report. Thanks.

[Vivien Taillandier (vivien)]

Hi.

I'm sorry to tell you that I only have firefox and usplash logs in /var/crash. I suppose they've been deleted somehow without me going in the folder (is it possible, and if it's the case, what must I do to prevent it from happening in the future ?)

I'll try to install a new Kubuntu Feisty this week-end, update it and be careful about the crash reports. If I can't reproduce it, I'll tell you quickly.

Just a question about crash reports, are they all logged in /var/crash ? Because since I also test the kubuntu gutsy, I should have many reports, like kopete, digikam ... and none are to be found in it. Is there another folder ?

Thanks for your answers (and your patience ;-) )

Here some news.
First, I have made a bad analysis of the bug, the problem isn't coming from the updating of adept.
Plus, the bug occurs during an update to gutsy.

When I lanch an update, I have an error message notifying me that all packages weren't correctly installed (just 1% ...)
Here is the list of the packages configured when running apt-get install -f

libc6-i686 (2.5-11ubuntu1) ...
x11-common (7.2-0ubuntu11) ...
libasound2 (1.0.14-1ubuntu3) ...
libart-2.0-2 (2.3.19-3) ...
libartsc0 (1.5.7-1ubuntu2) ...
libsm6 (1.0.3-1) ...

Another error and I had to run "sudo dpkg --configure -a"

After that I had to alternate between apt-get and dpkg to configure my os.

I'm sorry for having notified you a bug that wasn't one, since I'm under gutsy.

This is not uncommon with a development release, and doesnt happen in final releases.

Adept crashes after loading the source list and after entering a search string into the mask. I have installed gutsy.
