[Bug 88697] dpkg: invalid nice value

[Richard Green]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: adept

after installing Kubuntu Herd 4 X86_64  on emachines M6810, I ran adept-updater by clicking on the quickstart notification icon next to the clock.
  It presented me with 200+ updates.  Downloading them seemed to go quickly, but as they were being installed, I got a pop-up window with the message 'dpkg: Invalid nice value.  Enter a value between -19 and +20'  But there is no input box, only 'continue' and 'abort' buttons.  'Continue does nothing.  'abort' seems to abort the installation of all packages.

I then launched adept from the menu, and selected the package build-
essential.  When I clicked on 'apply changes', it again downloaded them
normally, and gave me the same 'invalid nice value' popup as it began to
install them.

** Affects: adept (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
