Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
I just did a fresh install of hardy from the beta alternate installer
CD. The install went fine, but while upgrading the packages to their
latest versions, I got a message saying an error had occurred, with a
message in the log saying "dpkg: status database area is locked by
another process". At the same time I also got a message saying
restricted drivers were available for my hardware, I suspect that
perhaps that was locking the dpkg database. After closing the error
message and trying again the upgrade went through fine.
Here's the end of the log from the terminal:
