Running Adept Update Manager fails. error msg available

[Sebastian Morkisch]

Hello Developers!

I tried to run the Updates of the Adept in Kubuntu. But it fails. First it loads all new packages. After downloading all Ressources the Adept began to install all available packages, but it stopped.

Then I cancelled the error and immediatly a window on the top left of the screen appeared and it told me, that there are Updates available for my 7.10 Version. I thought I already got the current version of KDE and Linux. So I did nothing and let it run. The Updater only completed the first step (forgot which one it was) and then it told me, that (what I remember) there is a problem with the Adept manager and the software suggested to solve the problem on its own. It told me sth. about another instance of adept which is running and the Updater would try to break the connection of these two instances. But there was no second adept open, for I saw no other window open, becasue I closed them.

But the automatic solving process failed. Even when I logged of and restarted several times the X-Server (ALT+E).

I restarted the X-Server in the hope, that there was only a simple problem, but it would not let me update my version of Kubuntu again. So I don't know what to do.

I saved a crash report on my Desktop. If anybody is interested in that file, please don't hesitate and mail me.

Hello Developers

Does anybody know this sort of error? Is further data needed? Can I do something to fix that problem? Thanks guys.

Hello Developers

This really strange. How can this be? I installed a distribution of Kubuntu completely with no user changes on the installation process. How can there be an error? I did not customize something. This is really annoying. Especially when nobody is answering my Thread!!! Why is it still undecided? Isn't anybody interested in this problem??

I think it is highly important, due to a normal installation should enable every computer to run properly the main programs.

Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Another thing is, when I install further programs like Eclipse, then Adept downloads all packages needed, and it tries to install, but then it tells me the installation has failed. But when I look into the programs List, then the icon appears and the program runs fine... How comes to that?

Kind regards,
Leviathan

Strange... Nobody is interested. As it seems that more than the half of all new Ubuntu Users face these problems. Bad support-

[Michael D. Stemle, Jr. (manchicken)]

This is a known issue. Running `dpkg --configure -a` on the command-line should help you figure this out. This has been a known and posted issue for several months, and folks have been working to fix the issue. As always, there are more bugs than there are people to fix bugs. If you have time and resources to help fix bugs, please do. If you do not, please do try to be patient as folks are working as best they can to solve these issues.

You could have found the answer I gave you a bit faster if you had searched for the error message you got in adept in the bug. This is not a support forum, this is a bug tracker. If you're looking for forums then might I recommend you visit http://ubuntuforums.org?
