[Bug 88697] Re: dpkg: invalid nice value

[Richard Green]

Back to the root console
apt-get update;apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade' followed by a reboot, and now I can use adept again.  I successfully installed the xastir package, as well as the 10 dependencies it pulled in.
  SO this was apparently fixed by one of the ~200 packages updated since the herd 4 release.
