Title:
Uninformative error message when apt lock blocks operations
Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I had synaptic open and I launched "Hardware Drivers" and tried to
install a driver ("Firmware for DVB cards", but I suspect it doesn't
matter).
The operation failed with the message:
"SystemError: installArchives() failed"
which is quite uninformative in my opinion.
Closing synaptic, everything went fine.
Under the same conditions, the same happens when trying to uninstall
the driver.
I suggest that the behaviour should be more similar to that of the
Update Manager, which states:
"There is another synaptic running in interactive mode. Please close
it first."
