    [SOLVED] Adept Manager problem

    Hello all. I have been running into a few problems with Adept and package management in general. Lately, I have tried installing a few different packages, with adept only to hang up on me when it neared completion.

    Something I had tried in the past was to issue the command

    Code:
    sudo dpkg --configure -a
    and it would clear out my problems (heard about it in another thread), but now it runs into problems too. Any suggestions? I am using kernel 2.6.24-18-generic. Here is the terminal output from running the command.

    Code:
    solidus126@lappy486:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[sudo] password for solidus126:
dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
solidus126@lappy486:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

    Also, I have one more question. I am going to have to reformat my Windows partition and reinstall XP since a virus recently destroyed it. My partition table has a really small ~50MB partition, followed by the Windows partition ~20GB, and then by my Kubuntu ~60GB and the swap partition for it. Currently the 50MB partition is assigned sda1, XP is sda2, and Kubuntu sda3. Is it safe to eliminate the small 50MB partition, and tack it on to the new Windows partition, and Kubuntu would have no problem booting up next time (other than having to edit my GRUB menu)?

    Thanks!

    You have to edit both menu.lst and /etc/fstab files. You have to re-install GRUB too and its easy through SuperGRUB CD.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    devils casper,

    I tried out the commands you gave me and they seem to help, but now I get an error message that happens when adept gets close to finishing up an un/installation of a package. I included a screenshot of the error.

    I was able to repartition my hard drive successfully using some help in an old thread in another forum, and thanks for your suggestions!

    Adept is not throwing any helpful error message. Which package are you trying to install?
    Try to install it with apt-get and post exact error message here.
    Code:
    sudo apt-get clean all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install package_name
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Yes, it threw an error (said something about cupswrapper at the end of it). When I enter "htop" into the terminal though, it seems to run correctly, though. Weird huh?
