[Bug 103323] adept does not handle errors nicely

[Paul Dufresne]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: adept

When adept get a problem with a package not configuring well, it shows a popup with a messsage like:
"There was en error committing changes. Possibly there was a problem
downloading some packages or the commit would break packages" (this was taken from a mailing post, but I THINK it was
the one I saw.

While the popup was waiting for me to click Ok, I was looking the packages being configured, and working fine.
But as soon as I have click on 'Ok' button, adept have exited, stopping the current package configuration (actually, making a new initramfs which should have taken quite a while).

>From that point, trying to run install again show a message stating that
I won't be able to install or remove software, because another process
is using the packaging system.

Expected result would be to just log errors, and show them only after configuring all packages that adept is able to configure.
But then for that, related bug #59063 (Adept show update complete regardless of errors) would have to be fixed.
