Whenever an installation is interrupted, you may get this message e.g. I just issued
apt-get remove gaim
and then realized that it was also uninstalling ubuntu-desktop which is a meta package, so I pressed Ctrl + C (while it was still “Reading the database”). A couple of hours later, when I tried to run Adept Installer, it snapped back with the error above. The solution is simple, open the terminal and issue:
sudo dpkg –configure -a
