---------------
gdebi (0.6.2) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Michael Vogt ]
  * use DebPackage from python-apt and depend on python-apt >= 0.7.96
  * merged lp:~kiwinote/gdebi/use-python-apt (with some minor
    modifcations)

  * GDebi/GDebiKDE.py:
    - Use kdesudo instead of kdesu in Ubuntu (LP: #600644).

Hi

I have this problem. Tried to download Google Chrome (I know I know...) and LimeWire (separately) and I get the message,

"Only one software manager (or management) can run at any one time"

Can you help, the same problem for many other types of files not just .deb

Thanks in advance
