** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: apt
  
  When I ran APT the last time successfully, the command hung at
- "Unpacking", so I decided to 'killall -9' it and blame the problem on an
- infinite loop.
- 
- The next time I ran APT, even with nothing but Firefox and the terminal
- running, I got the attached message (along with any equivalent messages
- in the GUI programs that depend on it) and keep getting it, every time I
- run the programs.
+ "Unpacking". I made the mistake of killing it, and so I decided to rm
+ the /var/lib/dpkg/lock file and run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'. I now
+ definitely think that it might be an infinite loop causing the problem,
+ as it hangs without consuming any CPU.
