[wellylug] Problems with Adept

[Steve Macdonald]

I am using kubuntu dapper and done and upgrade via adepts upgrade 
notifier. It crashed halfway through and now I can't use Adept to 
install anything.

When ever I try to run adept I get this message

"You will not be able to change your system settings in any way 
(install, remove or upgrade software), because another process is using 
the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or 
apt-get or aptitude). Please close the other application before using 
this one."

Even when I shut down and restart the laptop.

How on earth can I solve this problem?

Cheers

Steve
