[Bug 88697] Re: dpkg: invalid nice value

[Richard Green]

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 68267 ***

I got the error three times:
First, when the adept window just said 'preparing...'
Second, when adept said 'preparing update for x11-common'
and a third time, soon after, when I didn't catch the package name in question.

I also got it when using adept to install a single package 'adept'.
However, when I went to the command line to execute 'apt-get install adept', it not only did that, but noticed five packages only partly installed, including x11-common, and it successfully finished the job on those.

I guess what needs to be done, is another fresh install, and then an immediate 'apt-get update; apt-get upgrade' rather than using the GUI for the initial update.
I'm well beyond that point now, working on some sound issues, so I won't get a chance to do another fresh install until herd 6 comes around.
