[wellylug] Kubuntu Feisty adept update problem

[Rob Collins]

Cheers Daniel,

Using, dpkg didn't install everything, but aptitude console worked 
wonderfully, haven't had a "nice integer" problem since.  Will think 
twice about upgrading to a new version of Kubuntu during the testing 
phase in future though as daily there are many 10's of MB upgrading to 
be done as various bugs etc get ironed out!
