It does not fail all the time. It fails sometimes, and it seems to be random. I do not know of any processes that used dpkg while apt-get was failing and the output of lsof | grep /var/lib/dpkg did not return any output.
I will update the bug report if the behavior continues and I discover anything new. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/943144 Title: Must manually remove /var/lib/dpkg/lock To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/943144/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
