Try this in a console:
ps -AF| egrep '(apt|adept)'
If it shows anything likely, then you can try to kill the offending process.
Note that this may match things that don't affect Apt, so kill with care.
Here is what I get on a Dapper desktop:
:~$ ps -AF| egrep '(apt|adept)'
kitterma 5525 1 0 7580 9312 1 Sep28 ? 00:00:36 adept_notifier
kitterma 5718 1 0 22494 31308 0 Sep28 ? 00:22:45
konversation -caption Konversation -icon konversation -miniicon konversation
If you got that, then I'd sudo kill 5525 as the offending process. That
approach has worked for me in the past. YMMV.
