I running Kubuntu Intrepid Ibex and I tried to do a routine upgrade with the adept installer.

sudo dpkg --configure -a
or
sudo apt-get -f install
in terminal
sudo apt-get -f install tells me to run sudo dpkg --configure -a and configure gives me the error
dpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system
when I try to run the adept installer again I get the error configuration file "home/david/
And am then prompted for my password.
I still have the update notifier on the system tray.
