but if I then run sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
and re-run aptitude it works.
The problem is that this is happening frequently now - my guess is that lock
files are being left behind after aptitude terminates.
I'm running Debian Sid, XFS file system, kernel 2.6.31.5, x86_64 architecture,
and the problem only appeared recently (I can't be more specific other than
within the last week or so, and I'm tracking Sid with regular upgrades.)
