Yes, terminal output suggests that another process was locking the
database. Strange thing is, that only the Updater/Adept was running,
which installed about half of the new packages without any problem until
it produced the above error while installing Firefox:

Wähle vormals abgewähltes Paket firefox-2.
Entpacke firefox-2 (aus .../firefox-2_2.0.0.13+1nobinonly-0ubuntu1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg - Warnung: Problem wird übergangen, weil --force angegeben ist:
... endless warnings from here on.

When I tried to install that Package manually (apt-get install
firefox-2) it told me again, that another process is locking the
database. Again, I can confirm that no other process able to lock the
database was running. I tried  "apt-get -f install" and it told me that
language-support-en is missing. After installing it manually (apt-get
install language-support-en) Firefox and all other packages installed
smoothly. No more locking-errors.

So I think either Updater/Adept stumbled over it's own feet, or it was
an unresolved dependency.
