  Software installation doesn't block session exit

  Confirmed

  1. In USC, start installing something big and complicated, like Ardour.
  2. While it is installing, choose "Shut Down" and confirm it.

  What happens:
  2. The computer shuts down immediately.
  3. Ardour is not installed.
  4. After restarting, and trying to install it again, errors at the console:
  ------------
  2011-09-06 16:03:11,918 - softwarecenter.backend - ERROR - error in _on_trans_finished 'Error: Package operation failed
  The installation or removal of a software package failed.

  dpkg: error processing libvamp-sdk2 (--configure):
   Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
   reinstall it before attempting configuration.
  ------------

  What should happen:
  2. A dialog appears explaining that you can't log out until Ubuntu Software Center is finished.
  3. Once the installation finishes, the computer shuts down.

  should begin blocking session exit."
