This bug was fixed in the package apt - 1.6.6
---------------
apt (1.6.6) bionic; urgency=medium
* Set DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED when running {pre,post}-invoke scripts.
Some post-invoke scripts install packages, which fails because
the environment variable is not set. This sets the variable for
all three kinds of scripts {pre,post-}invoke and pre-install-pkgs,
but we will only allow post-invoke at a later time.
(LP: #1796808)
apt (1.6.5) bionic; urgency=medium
[ David Kalnischkies ]
* Support records larger than 32kb in 'apt show' (Closes: #905527)
(LP: #1787120)
[ Julian Andres Klode ]
* Add support for dpkg frontend lock (Closes: #869546) (LP: #1781169)
* Set DPKG_FRONTEND_LOCKED as needed when doing selection changes
* http: Stop pipeline after close only if it was not filled before
(LP: #1794957)
* pkgCacheFile: Only unlock in destructor if locked before (LP: #1794053)
* Update libapt-pkg5.0 symbols for frontend locking
