Public bug reported:

I tried to install a .deb package, and I kept getting this error message when I am prompt to enter my admin password:
"Incorrect password... try again"

Passsword was correct, i tried it several times, the problem is that
there is another service like Ubuntu Software Center  installing
something else.

I ran
`sudo dpkg -i file.deb`
while still installing this other package,
and i got this message: 
dpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process

Message should be changed,
thanks

Package version:  gdebi 0.9~exp2
Ubuntu 13.04
