Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
steps to reproduce:
-have selected "Download the updates but don't install them automatically"
(i've also checked to check for updates every day)
-wait for updates to happen
-wait for updates to be downloaded in background
-when update-manager is launched, click on "install updates" (and eventually
insert the password)
-a popup shows up, reading(in italian):
"E: Impossibile ottenere il lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11
Risorsa temporaneamente non disponibile)
E: Impossibile bloccare la directory di scaricamento"
workaround: close update-manager, reopen it, click on "install
updates"... it'll work fine
this is the error that happens when apt-get or synaptic, or "add/remove
software" is running... but this isn't the case since by closing and
reopening update-manager, which is the only one running, the problem
goes away...
i guess that it's due to the fact that it's launched after downloads
have been completed, but before the process that has done the downloads
has released the apt lock...
due to the length of the second step to reproduce, i'm not 100% certain
that this bug shows up with all updates, but i've definitely seen this
bug more than 2 times...
