I had the same problem, the crash occurred during the installation of vim-runtime (from /var/log/dpkg.log). A few packages before dpkg failed to install j2re1.4 (I forgot to accept the license terms).
I did the following : rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock dpkg --configure -a dpkg --configure --pending Ran aptitude selected vim-full, deselected vim-runtime, committed. Adept is now working again. -- Adept Manager displays Could not commint changes on downloading updates or other software https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/100054 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
