Bug 164592

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.1)
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux
OS:                Linux

First of all: Thank you for your great worK!!!

Now the problem:
I change the menu.lst-file of the grub manager. If you do that, you run into big problems when you try to install a new kernel with the adept-manager (if one ist listed in the update-list). The adept-manager then stopps updating afer a few seconds.
For a beginners it appears the the program crashed, but a click on "Show details" reveals, that the adept-manger is waiting or a decision of the user:

"A new version of /boot/grub/menu.lst is available, but the version installed currently has been locally modified. What would you like to do about menu.lst?"
Then you can choose between 4 Options (basically it is: leave it as it is, change or quit).
Problem: In the GUI of the adept-manager 2.1 cruise you can't make these options, only in text-mode in a shell. (If the is a possibily to make the choice, I did not find it, then you change this...)

In consequence its only possible to quit the adept-manager, with grave consequences:
The packages database is locked now. 

No crash, but impossible to go on for beginners...

You then have to start a shell and "sudo apt-get upgrade" manually. To unlock the database and install the new kernel. 

Really hard for someone who has no idea of linux...

Suggestion 1: The should appear a hint if action by the user is necesary during the update-process. (Now you have to click on "Show details" without any hint.)
Suggestion 2: It should be possible in adept-manager to answer questions in text-mode, if there any.
Suggestion 3: (a very general one) Built a function into GUI, which can unlock the database. You would avoid a lot of trouble for beginners!
