Version: 2.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux The Manage Repositories option in Adept Manager's Adept menu is disabled. This is Adept's GUI for editing sources.list and is not disabled in earlier versions of Adept. sources.list can still be edited manually or through another package manager.
I can verify this bug. This should not be happening as it forces the new user to edit a file manually by hand.
I can confirm this on current kubuntu edgy.

Is there any target date for solving or do we have to definitively live with this bug ?
It has been fixed already since Kubuntu Feisty, as indicated in this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adept/+bug/62610 I'm not sure if upstream has gotten the fix already.
I am afraid that if this bug is classified "unknown" as importance, it will simply never be corrected. A workaround should be proposed in the meantime, and bug status updated to give visibility (planned for correction yes/no ?).
Then, two questions: 1. is there a known workaround to reactivate "view" menu of adept-manager ? (until the bug is corrected) 2. or how the corrected ubuntu adept-manager can be used in Debian ?
Hello ! Is this bug definitively dead and closed ? Or is there an obvious workaround which would justify to keep this bug alive ? If the solution is known, may be good to give it here ! Thanks.

Kubuntu uses a quick fix for this, but it enables that menu item all the time which means it can be selected too early which causes a crash (in practise this isn't a problem I've noticed anyone reporting). http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/kubuntu_01_enable_sources_editor.diff
Great, but I am not looking for a Kubuntu solution, because it is already corrected in Kubuntu Adept package. Kubuntu Adept package is NOT compatible with Debian (don't know why). The question is for KDE/Debian (see Comment #7 2007-08-01): - How to get this correction for Debian, especially if you are not a developper ? - Who is responsible KDE or Debian ? Thanks.
Adept 2.1 has been removed from Debian unstable (and testing) some time ago. The upcoming 3.0 (an alpha version thereof) has been uploaded to experimental, and when ready, should get into unstable again. It shouldn't suffer from this issue.
