Package: packagekit
Version: 1.2.6-5
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
X-Debbugs-Cc: blasc...@hep.itp.tuwien.ac.at
Dear Maintainer,
every other time when I install updates using the synaptic package manager, it
gets interrupted by packagekitd locking the dpkg frontend leading to error
messages like this one I got today:
Preparing to unpack .../locales_2.36-9+deb12u4_all.deb ...
Unpacking locales (2.36-9+deb12u4) over (2.36-9+deb12u3) ...
dpkg: error: dpkg frontend lock was locked by another process with pid 567573
Note: removing the lock file is always wrong, can damage the locked area
and the entire system. See <https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/FAQ#db-lock>.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
dpkg: error: dpkg frontend lock was locked by another process with pid 567573
Note: removing the lock file is always wrong, can damage the locked area
and the entire system. See <https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/FAQ#db-lock>.
This was the error message in synaptic package manager and when I looked up pid
567573 it turned out to be packagekitd
Please do not ever lock dpkg while it is in use by another program!
Thanks,
Daniel
