Public bug reported:
Facts:
12.04.1 LTS, fresh install
*don't know which package causes error, so can't provide apt-cache policy
<pkgname>*
Story is:
Ubuntu Software Center. Queued multiple programs to install (about 9 or so).
First was Gimp. It seems to have downloaded fine, because the USC showed
"Applying changes". So I left my laptop, thinking it would just install all the
programs fine.
When I came back (half an hour later) it still showed "Applying changes" (for
Gimp). My pc is not slow at all, so clearly things were going wrong. I tried to
close USC and it hang up. I tried to use apt-get for installing another program
and it told me dpkg was blocked, as I expected. So I tried "sudo killall dpkg"
which said there is no such process.
So I restared the pc, which unlocked dpkg. And now everytime I install a
program I get this error which surely is applied to this report.
Fun Fact: Gimp works anyway.
Hope this helps, greets
peter
