Just for the histroy record: In previous versions update-manager used synaptic and not python-apt to install updates (only the partial dist upgrade uses python-apt).
Actually apt and aptdaemon share the same lock files and I cannot reproduce this error. Have you installed Ubuntu on your hard drive? Do you use a live cd? Do you use a special file system? ** Summary changed: - If apt-get is running, aptdaemon reports the wrong errors + Lock race between apt-get and aptdaemon ** Changed in: aptdaemon (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Lock race between apt-get and aptdaemon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/639847 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
