This is due to APT not supporting parallel execution / threads very
well, which does unfortunately not allow us to perform two actions at
the same time on one backend.
There are a few ideas on how to solve this, but implementing this is
unfortunately not a trivial task.
Ideally, the APT-API would just be threadsafe ;-)
Currently, nobody is working on this issue.
Cheers,
Matthias
