Bug Description

Using kubuntu 7.10 amd64 (2.6.22-14-generic).
I am new linux user, only used kubuntu for a few months just playing with Fiesty on old laptop. Now have just assembled a new pc with all new parts and wanted to start fresh with Gutsy.
AMD64 x2 4000+ cpu
Gigabyte GA-M61SME-S2
MSI NX7300LE
2GB memory
250GB WD HDD
Performing initial updates install from KDE package manager. Fetch updates ran ok. Download for all packages ran ok. Install is where i think it fails. Get the message that package manager failed to commit all packages with only an "OK" button to click on. After that cannot perform any other update, cannot open adept package manager or even open add/remove programs. Now get the error message that "...another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) already running." After reinstall of kubuntu tried installing updates again and notice that the new version option was available so tried that before exiting the package manager (but after the initial commit error) with the same result and an error message like earlier.
