https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adept/+bug/117345

7.04

this is an bug that happens just by Update failing and no error crash or an crash

Stuped java JRE install with an agree box at the bottom does not even ASK you if you want to Skip it so when you click Next it should ASK you are you sure you wish to Not install this update and tell the user to Scroll to the bottom and tick it but if you do not it crash Apept and you have to resort to command line (i think it did install java after that as its not asking me to install it)

this BUG has been in ubuntu for the Last 4 vers back to 5.x (database locked) all it seems to be doing is checking if A file is there, not checking if it is really in use poor way of checking if the data base is open and No way of resetting it in the GUI or reboot

what it should do is Tell the user Adept may be running still and check in the task bar if its not there restart the pc and try agane (it should Clean up apept on reboot) at most One line needs to be added to the system start up to remove the database lock File {if thats how it works}And as simple have an button on that Error box that Runs the {sudo dpkg -configure -a} command

Update java 6 to {java 6 update 1} and Fix the package so that it does not make an error

also where is update its missing on Kubuntu i cant manuley start it on Kubuntu as i can on ubuntu (i have to wait for auto update to pop up and that can be disabled as well when it should not be allowed to new users mite just click never show agane and miss security updates for ever) { was temped to tick that box at the bottem {This bug is a security vulnerability }

no way i can use ubuntu for customers if Simple problems like this crop up (resorting to forums and command line every time an minor problem props up)

<<can you make an update that Clean this up for when the Next ver of ubuntu comes out (remove database lock on reboot or do some sort of Clean up)>> Its Very easy to make the database locked error just Crash adept and it do it

apart from that seems to be getting better (at least now i can play some music web sites but that does not work completely as well)

As you correctly point out this is a duplicate of bug 48627, marking as such. Actually there are two problems here. There is the adept database lock handling and also the handling of the Java license which caused the crash in the first place. I think the Java license handling is also in progress but I can't find the specific bug report.
