I think it's a situation of the tools to validate the package name are the same tools that are running apt-listbugs which means the package caches are locked.(???) I don't know. Certainly you don't want apt-listbugs calling back into the apt system for information about a package name. IMO it's a problem that doesn't need solving. OP just needs to be aware that typos will give unreliable information. GIGO. A
