I had the same problem, the crash occurred during the installation of vim-runtime (from /var/log/dpkg.log).
A few packages before dpkg failed to install j2re1.4 (I forgot to accept the license terms).
I did the following :
rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
dpkg --configure -a
dpkg --configure --pending
Ran aptitude selected vim-full, deselected vim-runtime, committed.

Adept is now working again.
