It looks like Scott might be right, it's a KDE/qt issue. The way I worked around this during my upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy is the following:
1. Run 'kdesu "adept_manager --version-upgrade"', attempt the upgrade, and allow it to fail.
2. Via a terminal, go to /tmp/kde-root/adept_manager(something).tmp-extract
3. Edit DistUpgrade.cfg so that it only tries to do the upgrade in text mode since python can't load the libs for GTK, and QT has the memory issue
4. Save file
5. Run (as root) dist-upgrade.py
