Bug Description
Binary package hint: man-db
Was installing deluge (torrent program) with apt-get. The downloading phase had just finished. In another terminal I ran `sudo tasksel`. I didn't run anything in the tasksel window. Then the apt-get of deluge failed.
1) jake@daedalus64
Description: Ubuntu 11.04
Release: 11.04
2) ?
3) I expected the install of deluge to finish, OR tasksel to fail to open as an installer like synaptic and apt-get do when there is another installer running.
4) tasksel didn't not warn of another installer running, and caused the other installer to fail.
