Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: synaptic
Synaptic (and adept) block use of apt-get aptitude, or any other package
manager, but when synaptic is idle, it is nor necessary.
This but could prevent bug of newbie, that install module-assistant with
synaptic to install his webcam, but have this error:
E: Impossible de verrouiller /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Ressource
temporairement non disponible)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another
process using it?
Because he haven't close synaptic (to use it latter for example).
I know a lot a newbies that have the same error, and for us, it is
critical ...
And because this line:
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is
another process using it?
is not translatable, and is not very comprehensive, (an error message
displaying: "is another package manager is running ?" at place of "is
another process using it?" and making it translatable, could close this
bug too !)
