Back to the offending Adept window

[Paul Dufresne]

Ok, finally just made sudo dpkg-configure -a
And was able to launch adept-udpater, and showing details.

First, for me the real problem is this window:
Une erreur est survenue lors de l'application des changements. Il est
possible qu'il y ait eu un problème lors du téléchargement de certains
paquets, ou bien l'application des changements aurait cassé certains
paquets. 

I translate: An error happened while applying changes. It is possible
that there was a problem while loading some packages,
or that the application of changes would have break some packages.

That window happen as soon an error happen applying on a package.
Adept continue to install others package while this window is on the
screen.
But when you click Ok button on that window, Adept quit and kill other
dpkg installation that are made,
leaving dpkg with a lock on package database.
For me this is pure evil! :-)

For the record here are the problems that caused that window to appears,
frankly I really don't care about them:
Damn, I can't copy them until I press Ok, and I know I can't because all
will disappear as soon I will.
Well, I could take a picture, but anyway, that would distract you from
the real problem.

I realize that most just: 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' and forget about
it.
But it is not normal to have to do it.
It is just because after pressing Ok on that window, Adept quit without
any care for killing dpkg.
At least, that is what I believe.
