Title:
  If you select "Download but do not install" option update-manager
  locks until downloaded

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have selected the "Download the updates but don't install them
  automatically" option with Update Manager. Unfortunately, today's
  updates were substantial and so the downloading is taking a while.
  What's odd is that I can't dist-upgrade from the command line or say
  "install" from update manager! It says /var/cache/apt/archives/lock is
  unavailable. When you hover over the update manager panel icon it says
  another process is running.

  I think it's a bug that if you select that option you have this
  happen. It informs you that there are updates, but you can't start the
  upgrade. And when you try it gives you a big. As an experienced user
  it doesn't bother me, but I think that it would bother someone who is
  new to Ubuntu.
