Like olie (2007-03-24 09:38:23 UTC) the update tool did not start, seems
to be a problem with root access to the x server: adept_manager run
using sudo has access to x server but the spawned "dist-upgrade.py"
appears to run just as root and does not have access to x server. (For
those that have this problem and want a temporary workaround, issue the
command "xhost +root" as your normal user before running adept, then
issue "xhost -root" immediately after the update has finished.)

One of the cleanup commits (a removal) failed, from which point the
process started consuming all available cpu time. It eventually
completed correctly, but I suspect this is something that needs looking
at. Also had to reboot manually, which is probably related: it might
have rebooted for me eventually but I got impatient.

Other than that, I think it would be good to have the summary of what is
being installed/upgraded/removed colour-coded to make the different
entries in the long list more easily identified, particularly the
removals. Also a search filter on package name and type
(upgrade/install/removal) would be useful to quickly check important
stuff (though I accept that this is an important operation and perhaps
we ought to be forced to pay detailed attention to what's going on...)
