Title:
  Be aware of aptdaemon transaction which are running in the background

Status in “aptdaemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “indicator-applet” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Aptdaemon allows to close a client application also if the transaction
  is still running or queued. Update-notifier should be aware of queued
  transaction and should allow users to access the background
  transaction.

  To avoid writting a C client for aptdaemon, update-notifier could
  listen to the ActiveTransactionChanged signal and launch software-
  center on request.

  Furthermore the shutdown dialog should check if there are still
  running transactions.

  
  Original bug report:

  Binary package hint: update-manager

  A manually triggered update will sometimes silently update in the
  background with no interactive feedback.  The user is left with a
  "Waiting for other tasks" dialogue.  The update will continue as
  normal but the user is never informed as to its status.  On at least
  one occasion this has resulted in damaged (but repairable) apt
  database due to shutdown while an update was taking place.
