Comment 14 for bug 677516

Thanks for your bugreport and your patch. I just tested the problem on my box with the following test (on the console):
$ sudo -s
# python -c 'import apt_pkg, gtk; apt_pkg.get_lock("/var/run/unattended-upgrades.lock"); gtk.main()' &
(this is to get the lock and keep it)
# /usr/share/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrade-shutdown &
(this keeps printing:
 WARNING - Unattended-upgrade in progress during shutdown, sleeping for 5s
)
# plymouth --show-splash

For me this shows the splash and the expected text that it waits. Doing a shutdown (while
# python -c 'import apt_pkg, gtk; apt_pkg.get_lock("/var/run/unattended-upgrades.lock"); gtk.main()'
is running) has the same effect, splash shows the text.

Please let me know what kind of behavior you see and what you did to reproduce the problem so that we get
a better understanding of this bug.
