Bug Description
Ubuntu 7.10 (Kubuntu DVD) installed from both Live and text, same symptom.
Brand new install. Ran updates.
Message: "There was an error committing packages. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages."
Next message: "a new distribution version is available! Click next if you wish to upgrade now"
Upon attempt to upgrade I got: "Unable to get exclusive lock. this usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) already running. Please close that application first."
If I go to System | Adept Manager I get: "Another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude). Would you like to attempt to resolve this problem? No will enter read-only mode and Cancel to quit and resolve this issue yourself."
When I click yes, I get the KDE Crash Handler with the message "The application Adept Manager crashed and caused the signal 6 (SIGABRT)..."
The Backtrace tab has:

I'm getting the exact same problem. Now Adept will do nothing but crash when I run it and try to fix the problem.
Is anyone at Kubuntu working to resolve this problem? My distro is 7.10 AMD64.
