Bug#822534: apt: packagekitd to blame?

[kwadronaut <kwadronaut+debian@riseup.net>]

Package: apt
Followup-For: Bug #822534

Dear Maintainer,

turned out that packagekitd was running, after shutting that down I
couldn't reproduce it. Not sure why packagekit was running in the first
place, but it seems that apt is indeed not the one to blame.
