The kernel update "linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-21-generic" fails repeatedly from Adept Updater, giving the fllowing error message:
There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem
downloading some packages or the commit would break packages.
From terminal, either sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get -f upgrade yields:

Apparently unable to upgrade the distro to Intrepid until this is resolved, but have no idea what I might need to do to fix this. :confused:
Searching the forums here, looks like the 2.6.24-21 kernel upgrade is fairly iffy itself, though obviously many have been able to apply it, and it has been appearing in adept notifier for well over a week now.
Pointers please. Thanks!
