Bug#510224: Xapian: Another update is already running

[jidanni@jidanni.org]

Package: apt
Severity: minor

Today I converted two systems from unstable to experimental. On both I
encountered in aptitude full-upgrade the following. Guessing it is an
apt bug. (Not mentioning the version because it was just in transition
as I ran it...)

Setting up aptitude (0.5.0-1) ...
Another update is already running: showing its progress.
