While I find mailing lists to work well, and the need to log into a forum & navigate to the thread you want to read a major PITA and time killer. > @Michele I thought I'd give it a go, and thus asked the question, > because the replacements (packagekit etc.) for update-notifier and > update-manager are just short of useless.

My experiments involving adept have been very distastefull, in 2 cases resulted in a re-install to sort it out. So I always revert to synaptic in the form of synaptic-pkexec, which is a sudo-like wrapper that gives you root rights to run it. Give it a try. Once you've sorted out the damages adept has done, it Just Works(TM). Adept apparently is, and has been unsupported for several years according to what I've read on other lists. Hopefully this will get thru your ISP's filters. You may have to do what I did when I was forced to use my ISP's mail server, call up their network support guy and setup a whitelist. > > Cheers. > > Michael.
