Sorry I didn't give you enough info at first...I wrote
that late and my eyes were closing.

Glad the others got you fixed up.

I have never liked Adept either, I use Synaptic as a
GUI Onterface with the "smart updates" toggled.

Been on Ubuntu/ Kubuntu for asince 5.04 using that
with no problems as of yet.

Prior to Ubuntu I used SuSE with Kpackage manager,
which actually trashed my installation resulting in
myfirst Ubuntu install. So I haven't even tried that
in Kubuntu.

On my first try of Adept I found it lacking, so went
back to synaptic. (my Kubuntu installs were
Ubuntu+Kubuntu Desktop). And I've since kept with
Synaptic despite it's Gnome heritage.
