  Ok it sounds like you are running it as a normal user rather than sudo.
How are you accessing it if from a runbox ie alt-F2 or the run command from 
the menu then you need to put kdesu adept.
  If you are running it from the menu then check that the command is as above 
and that the run as different user box is ticked. Failing that see if apt-get 
is working, adept is just a frontend for apt-get. To use apt-get from a 
terminal type sudo apt-get update to get the database up to date. Personally 
I am not a fan of adept and prefer synaptic, yes on my Kubuntu :)
