[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

I'm using Kubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex for 2 months. I use it besides
windows xp. But since a week, it started to give error whenever I
download & install any package through Adept Package Manager. Normally
it downloads and installs, but at the end of installation, it's always
the same like below.

First Adept says:

"Commit failed.
To continue, hit ok and we will try to recover. If you close the application now, we will not do anything and you may try to resolve the problem manually.
(If you suspect this is a bug in Adept, please also provide the following exception description in the report).

The error was: 
APT Error. Context:
    Running dpkg, 
    [ /usr/bin/dpkg, --status-fd, 3, --configure, libghc6-highlighting-kate-dev, libghc6-highlighting-kate-prof, x11proto-xf86vidmode-dev, libxxf86vm-dev ], 
    Sup-process returned error code 1, 
    Error processing libghc6-highlighting-kate-dev : subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1., 
    Error processing libghc6-highlighting-kate-prof : dependency problems - leaving unconfigured."

When I hit ok, then this mesage shows up:

"It seems that the recovery has failed. Please fix manually (try dpkg
--configure -a and/or apt-get -f install) in terminal...

The error was: 
APT Error. Context:
    Running dpkg, 
    [ /usr/bin/dpkg, --status-fd, 3, --configure, -a ], 
    Sup-process returned error code 1, 
    Error processing libghc6-highlighting-kate-dev : subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1., 
    Error processing libghc6-highlighting-kate-prof : dependency problems - leaving unconfigured."

When I try to execute the commands which adept advises for fixing the
error manullly in konsole as a root user, then it displays like below:
