Package: apt
Severity: minor
IMO, APT shouldn't lock status database area
while fetching packages but only when it's running
dpkg to install them.
Excuse me if i'm wrong, but I don't think there
might be any problems on installing packages
manually with dpkg while APT is fetching for a
dist-upgrade.
Regards,

There is, when APT goes to invoke dpkg after finishing the download it may
very well do Very Bad things since the state of the system has changed.
If you think you will need to use dpkg while downloading use the -d
option which does not lock the database (and does not install things
either...)
