Public bug reported:
I have configured my system to download and install security updates
automatically. When the automatic updates are installing, apt-get will
complain that it cannot lock the repositories and will fail. This is all
well and good.
What isn't good is that no reason is given for the repositories being
locked. Since the updates run silently, and I wasn't running apt-get in
any windows that I had open, my first thought was that I was looking at
an apt-get bug. It would be nice if apt-get could tell the user which
program is locking the file, and even better if it could say something
like "the repository is currently locked because automatic update is
running".
