   I have done this, but it still gives the same error.   
      
   Adept Manager starts ok, but I can't make changes.   
      
   Still the same error:   
    You will not be able to change your system settings in any way   
    (install, remove or upgrade software), because another process is   
    using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept   
    application or apt-get or aptitude). Please close the other   
    application before using this one.   
      
   It looks like the packaging system database is corrupt.
