KPacketKit

[Brian Norman Wootton]

Help
      KPacketKit fires up OK on my machine but whatever I type into the 
search box returns
'Message did not receive a reply(time-out by message bus). This means I 
think that I can't
install any updates to fix KPackageKit(or anything else). I've tried 
downloading directly
from the mirror but as soon as I try to install the .deb file I get 
'Message did not......'
 I'm stuffed, is there any way I can recover without re-installing 
Jaunty from the CD?
I have a feeling there isn't - mutter, mutter.
