The way I worked around this during my upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy is the following: 1. Run 'kdesu "adept_manager --version-upgrade"', attempt the upgrade, and allow it to fail. 2. Via a terminal, go to /tmp/kde-root/adept_manager(something).tmp-extract 3. Edit DistUpgrade.cfg so that it only tries to do the upgrade in text mode since python can't load the libs for GTK, and QT has the memory issue 4. Save file 5. Run (as root) dist-upgrade.py

This has been reported for both the KDE, Gnome and console programs. The problem is reproducible with the current Jaunty -> Karmic upgrade as well.
