I am taking note of that. Thanks for the info.

I agree the title I choosed is a bit hard.
And I would find Adept Ok to be used, once the cause of that bug will be
fixed (and not
adding an auto 'dpkg --configure -a' like some propose on:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adept/+bug/48627 )

I did not look long enough at:
https://code.launchpad.net/~martin.bohm/adept/adept-resolver to begin
understand what it does, but I feel
it put a band-aid on the problem rather than find the cause.

Is that patch accessible somewhere?
I'd like to take a look at it.

I found out my original bug posted on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adept/+bug/103323
but I guess I will try to move discussion on:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adept/+bug/48627
