RE: Aptitude and apt-get
I've checked, and there are no other instances of either apt-get or aptitude
running. Further, the appropriate permissions are set to the directories
/var/cache/apt and /var/cache/apt/archives.
One question, however. Is the pid of either apt-get or aptitude stored in a
*.pid file that either may check?
