For example I often use it while searching for depricated packages using orphaner. I always look what is in the package before I unistall. If I would lock the database I would need to close packagesearch everytime I want to install or uninstall a package. There are other cases where I would consider this to be really annoying.

You are right synaptic for example does set a lock. Greetings Ben -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
