I've addressed a small part of this in the design specification for the
Software Updates settings: it should use the standard aptdaemon status text
and error handling. So if Synaptic has locked apt or dpkg, the status text
should be Waiting for other tasks to complete…, and if it's still
** Description changed:
- To reproduce:
+ software-properties-gtk 0.92.9, Ubuntu 12.10
1. Install synaptic and run it
2. Click Settings-repositories
3. Click Additional software tab
4. Attempt to change to a different driver.
Expected result: The driver gets installed.

Properties separately from Synaptic, but Synaptic was still running (and
minimized) and so installing a driver hung.

The cause for me seems that synaptic is locking the package repository

make Software Sources modal to it, if it was the only access point for
Software Sources. But it is not. It has to be able to handle people
making changes in Software Sources when that is opened from Ubuntu
Software Center,
