I'm not an expert here, but I just installed the kde3 version by
following the instructions.  On my second PC, I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS -
Lucid Lynx.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:claydoh/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kmymoney2
kmymoney2

Try without adept.

A word of caution, though.  Contrary to what I said earlier, KMM was
installed into /usr, so it could clash with  your KMM4.
