After hitting Close on the window, having finished the report, I tried to open Add/Remove Programs from the Kmenu, and got a window with the following: Another process is using the packaging systme database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude). It asked me if I would like it to attemp to fix the problem, I clicked yes. Then I got: The application Adept Installer (adept_installer) crashed and caused the signal 6 (SIGABRT) Here is the backtrace information: (no debugging symbols found) Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".
