Description mgolden 2011-12-28 07:40:30 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

I added the ppa:kubuntu-ppa/beta to my sources and tried to upgrade from 4,7.4 to the beta for 4.8.  muon kept telling me that there was another package manager running but there wasn't.  Perhaps this was because the number of packages to be upgraded was very large, or perhaps it was because update-manager had previously crashed. However: (a) a reboot did not fix the problem and (b) apt-get had no such issue, and it was what I used to do the upgrade.

PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM USING THE BETA version of muon.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to upgrade a large number of packages

Actual Results:  
muon claims that another package manager is running

Expected Results:  
None is

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 3.0.0-14-generic
Compiler: gcc

I got the same message on Kubuntu 11.10 x64 edition running KDE build 4.7.1.

However, my problem is accross the board.  Through some tinkering around, I was able to get Muon 1.2.1  for Linux x86_64 release 3.0.0-12 to get the most up-to-date database of packages and update the sources.  However, even when Muon is the only application running and no other package managers installed, I still get the message that multiple package managers are running.
