Adept Can't Handle Packages with Dialogs

[Henri Girard]

It's written in the ubuntu doc i think.... Because i had the same 
problem... And read from there how to do it...
 I would prefer to use adepte too... But some installation or broken 
files aren't prevented or nothing said about them...
I spend a lot of time to discover that the line (16 or 17) in 
sources.list is not fully written with multiverse... I had to do it 
manually after #kubuntu irc guis told me...
cheers
Henri
