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 ActiveTransacti
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.
