Version: (using KDE 4.1.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages When I try to open Adept, I am prompted for the root password. After input, Adept crashes and I get the attached crash report: Application : Adept (adept), signal SIGABRT (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread 0xb5f958d0 (LWP 6045)] [New Thread 0xb46b9b90 (LWP 6053)] (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) [KCrash handler] #6 0xb806a430 in __kernel_vsyscall () #7 0xb6826880 in raise () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #8 0xb6828248 in abort () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #9 0xb6a4a6f8 in __gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 #10 0xb6a485d5 in ??

Most likely bug 175540. What happens if you try to install something via apt-get install?
After looking this up on the internet too, I noticed that I also I had a problem with the repository http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu. I modified my sources.list manually and it works again. I guess a more meaningful message in this case would help the user understand what's wrong here. Feel free to set this to the appropriate status - it works ok on my side now.
Yeah, thanks for testing. :-) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 175540 ***
