I run Adept Manager 2.1 on KDE 3.5.5 on Kubuntu 6.10 Edgy for x86.

Summary: Adept Manager has problems installing software that displays license agreements through the console since they require the user to hit OK or accept them (such as sun-java5-jdk 1.5.0-08-0ubuntu1) which isn't possible to limited console accessibility.

Explanation: When I tried to install Sun's Java 5 JDK 1.5.0-08-0ubunutu1 I ran into a problem where the installation would hang. Clicking "Show Details" button next to the progress bar revealed that a license agreement from Sun had to be approved before continuing. This message was cleary being displayed to the console but I had no way of selecting OK. I had to close the program and leave the installation midway through.

(Sidenote: This caused Adept to act strange since apparently the app was still busy, even after a reboot. "dpkg --configure -a" and "apt-get update" fixed this. Also, I couldn't remove the partial installation, so I ended up just installing (apt-get install) to finish it up.)

Work-around: I did the update/install from Konsole, agreed to the license, agreed to some other dialog, and everything turned out OK.

Some more access to the console is needed. I can't modify this bug's status/classification or see it. This is more than a "wishlist" bug and it's a problem for all versions I'd assume, so please change this bug's status or make this its own bug.
