Gary, I've run it in gnome on my 64 bit Hardy.  It's in 
Applications->System Tools->Adept manager. But it doesn't call up 
password for root so you can't select the features unless you know how 
to tell gnome to do so.  It wont run from CLI.  I have these programs 
installed for Adept:

i A adept                                                   - package 
management suite for KDE
i A adept-batch                                             - command 
line install for Adept
i A adept-common                                            - package 
manager for KDE -- common files
i A adept-installer                                         - simple 
user interface for application management (for KDE)
i A adept-manager                                           - package 
manager for KDE
i A adept-notifier                                          - system 
tray notifier of available system updates
i A adept-updater

Just in case you don't have Adept Manager under application/system 
tools. You can't run adept-updater as a stand alone program, only under 
the GUI interface in kde or gnome.  If you try from CLI you get "command 
not found" with or without sudo.  So, if you can figure out how to start 
it in gnome with root user privilege, you can do it. Let me know how you 
are able to get root privilege for Adept Manager if you succeed in doing 
it.  HTH
