Bug#562879: [CRASH] Uncaught exception LockFailedException in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/apt/cache.py:234

[Etienne URAH <eurbah@free.fr>]

This crash occurred today once on my computer with Debian 'squeeze' and 
python-apt 0.7.13.3, but is NOT systematic.

I was perhaps low on disk storage.
I was using the Update Manager of Gnome.
I had accepted all updates of Debian packets, plus all new packets 
(approx. 5 new packets).
Update Manager has successfully downloaded all packets.
Update Manager crashed while beginning to install them.

Reportbug automatically started, and I tried sending a report, but my 
own configuration of SMTP under Debian is probably not adequate.

The next time I used Update Manager, it worked well.
So this crash is NOT systematic.

Best regards.
