Steps to reproduce: 1) be sure to have a Kubuntu Gutsy system, on which the 2.6.22-13 kernel update is not yet installed 2) before updating, edit the file /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common and add some module to the blacklist. For example: change `Blacklist=""` to `Blacklist="nv nvidia_new"` (this is common for people who manually install the nvidia-driver) 3) use `kdese adept_updater` (or the tray applet) to get the updates. Adept will crash as shown in the screenshot below. 4) open Konsole, become root and enter `aptitude upgrade`; you will get a message, informing you that dpkg is broken 5) enter `dpkg --configure -a` to fix the problem. Dpkg will inform you that the package maintainer has released a new version of the file `/etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common`. You will be asked whether you want to replace the old file with the new one, keep the old one or view the differences. Choose to install the new file.
