on 2/24/07 was obtaining and initiating audiobook from gutenbergh project when 
audio was stopped and so noted at bottom of screen in kubuntu.   a package 
arrived, openen itself  ( screen and functions on screen are frozen and so 
are mouse functions and pointer. things open and close and function on their 
own and adept opens and there is activity, but not on screen. eventually 
control returns to screen and mouse. i attempt to reopen apt and am given one 
message then another [instructions to give command lines in terminal for 
attempting to restore, fix, or whatever apt....i.e.  apt-get; 
apt-setup;apt-install, etc.  to no avail.]   the log shows there was 
introduced a command to  REPO AUTOMATIX .   NOW ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I NOTICED 
THAT AUTOMATIX 2 HAD MOVED IN POSITION  IN MENU AND HAD BECOME AUTOMATIX.
NOW, POST THIS EPISODE, IT NO LONGER IS ON MENU AND WHENEVER I ATTEMPT TO 
UPGRADE,REPAIR, FIX, OR RECOVER ADEPT/APT FILES OR FUNCTIONS A MESSAGES 
DISPLAYED THAT STATES AUTOMATIX CANNOT BE FOUND AND APT CANNOT BE OPENED AS 
FRONT END IS NOT ABLE TO BE OPENED.
IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE THAT MIGHT HAVE A CLUE   WHAT HAPPEN  ?   NOT ME.
IDEAS PLEASE !  !
ALSO, I NOW HAVE PKGS. IN SYS TRAY.
IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING, THE MESSAGES SAY THERE IS NO METHOD TO OPEN THEM.
my son-in-law set kubuntu up for me and said it is unbreakable and so you are 
getting it.  i was happy.   ...i am not telling him i am,
