Package: apt
Version: 0.5.28.1

Only one instance of apt-get appears to be allowed to run at anyone
time.  it would be better if multiple copies were allowed to run, and
they would then use a spool dir to manage communication with the other
instances.  Also before installing they should check if those deps have
now been satisfied.  Obviously it would be better if only one instance
was installing (copying files) at a time, but the downloading can be
paralelised.

Kind regards
JG

This is not a bug, thus closing. It's also impossible to do correctly,
because if you install packages in two different APT's, the second
APT would need to know the state after the installation done by the
first APT; so it would know which packages to install.

So, this is practically impossible, and does not bring any
advantage. You can now download in parallel by using httpredir.debian.org
as your mirror, that should be enough.

There's also
  Bug#158486 for parallel downloading from the same host
  Bug#97872 for downloading and installing in parallel
