Wow, that sure was driving me nuts - I never touch adept or synaptic (only aptitude) and running adept does indeed stop the index watcher from running every 5 secs. Thanks!
Oh, and I had the exact adept corruption problems described when I tried to run adept the first time and removing those db files does fix it (after running kdesu adept_manager to rebuild the db). -- apt-index-watcher corrupts the apt cache database https://launchpad.net/bugs/61708 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
