Public bug reported:
When upgrading the system to 11.10, various processes try to access the dpkg
database while upgrade is running. These include unattended-upgrades, apticron
and update-manager. It happens from time to time, that these processes will
gain a lock on the database, forcing the main upgrade process to abort.
I would expect either the main upgrade process to wait until the database gets
released OR to properly lock it so no other process can access it while the
upgrade is running.
