Comment 17 for bug 61708

Wow, that sure was driving me nuts - I never touch adept or synaptic (only aptitude) and running adept does indeed stop the index watcher from running every 5 secs. Thanks!

Oh, and I had the exact adept corruption problems described when I tried to run adept the first time and removing those db files does fix it (after running kdesu adept_manager to rebuild the db).
