reassign 370381 aptitude 0.4.11.10-1 thanks I was looking through source code, hoping to come up with a fix for this and it looks like apt is locking things correctly. I haven't figured out my way around aptitude yet, but aptitude should lock _config->FindDir("Dir::Cache::Archives") + "lock" before installation, as we can see in apt's cmdline/apt-get.c DoClean() function: FileFd Lock; if (_config->FindB("Debug::NoLocking",false) == false) { Lock.Fd(GetLock(_config->FindDir("Dir::Cache::Archives") + "lock")); if (_error->PendingError() == true) return _error->Error(_("Unable to lock the download directory")); } -- Chanoch (Ken) Bloom.
