Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.10-1
Severity: normal

Launching aptitude (as root) while a dpkg is running results in a
message saying the packages db is openned RO (that's expected), and
says that no changes will be saved until I select "become root" (that
is slightly awkward, but still understandable from my point of view).

To help to find the region of code in the future, in curses the messages
are:

  | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource
  |    temporarily unavailable)
  |
  | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is
  |    another process using it?
  |
  | W: Could not lock the cache file; this usually means that dpkg or
  |     another apt tool is already installing packages.  Opening in
  |     read-only mode; any changes you make to the states of packages
  |     will NOT be preserved!
