[Bug 665572] Re: dpkg status lock race after a transaction is done

[Ralph Hess]

Hi Andrea
Actually, at that level I am a non-techie too. I reported the problem 
when it happened, but by the time I had used the update manager a couple 
of times the problem apparently just fixed itself because somebody who 
did know what they were doing applied a fix, patch , whatever, to the 
appropriate package. Seems to have had something to do with that stupid 
front that makes the PC look like a phone/pad. Now gone back to Gnome 2.

Cheers, Ralph
