Public bug reported:
Lock() can succeed when update-manager is ran as root (not recommended
and not done by default) potentially taking the lock blocking other dpkg
frontends.
Update-manager is typically ran as a normal user thus lock operations
fail and are ignored already.
Dropping the locking operations makes the code less confusing and more
predictable.
** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:
- Stop trying apt_pkg.pkgsystem_(un)lock()
