Title:
Add option to wait for /var/lib/dpkg/lock to become free
Status in aptitude:
Fix Released
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in apt package in Debian:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: apt
Today I was waiting for texlive-full to install when I discovered that
I would also need texmaker. Also, I plan to add apt-get full-upgrade
to my nightly crontab, but I don't want it to fail if I happen to be
manually installing a package at the same time.
For both of the above situations, it would be useful to have a
command-line flag that wouldd make apt-get wait for /var/lib/dpkg/lock
to become free, rather than giving up immediately. I suggest -w and
--wait, since they're not being used for anything.
