Bug Description

The muon-updater window was blocked at install stage with the same progression bar during half an hour.

When I wanted to restart the computer from the KDE menu, I got an error message which told me the updater forbid the restart.

I had to use the below command in order to allow me to shutdown the computer :
--------
kill -TERM 1856
--------

Next I could restart my computer.

Next, I couldn't use muon again since it told me an other program was using apt.

Then I tried to update the distro by using the below command line :
-------------
sudo apt-get update
-------------

Buy I got the below error message :
-------------
E: dpkg a été interrompu. Il est nécessaire d'utiliser « sudo dpkg --configure -a » pour corriger le problème.
-------------

Next I ran the below command :
-------------
sudo dpkg --configure -a
-------------

I attached the log of the later command.

Finaly I could use Muon again.

Please think about newbies which would just throw away Kubuntu with this first experience.
