This needs to use a similar locking as apt-get (at least for maverick). apt-get keeps the lists dir locked to ensure that no other apt-get runs. It drops the dpkg lock however so that dpkg can be invoked. What happend here is that the dpkg lock is removed, but dpkg was not run yet to re- aquire it.
