Bug description:
  Affected release: Ubuntu 14.04.5
  Version of package: 14.12-0ubuntu5.14.04

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Run do-release-upgrade to upgrade to 16.04.2.
  2. Trigger the package-reporter to kick in while do-release-upgrade is working but not having the package database locked.
  3. Package database is locked by package-reporter, do-release-upgrade fails to access it and exits.

  Expected result:
  Landscape detects that there's an release upgrade in progress and will wait for it to finish.

  Actual result:
  PackageReporter locks the apt database, do-release-upgrade cannot access it, exits with an error and may leave the system in an unusable state.
