Comment 4 for bug 1173372

I'm the author of this bug. Here are updates

The bug reporting system (launchpad) is buggy and It's hard to obey all the rules from the people who make the rules for reporting bugs.

a) I did attempt using the tools alt+f2, then "ubuntu-bug -w", and that failed, and mis-reports the bug is with terminal. The bug is with apt-get run inside terminal

b) I did attempt to follow the documentation on launchpad, and that says to manually report the package target and distrubtion, which I did attempt, and launchpad did not save.

c) I did attempt to re-update the proper bug target, and then the error message shows up. The web interface for launchpad suggests "ia32-apt-get" as a bug target, and then when I try to save my update, launchpad rejects that suggestion Here's the quote: "there is no package named 'ia32-apt-get' published in Ubuntu."

=====================================================================

As I reported, the bug result is a locked out error on any more attempts at apt-get.

Here are more details of that lock, below

========================

id@id-laptop:~$ sudo -s
[sudo] password for id:
root@id-laptop:~# apt-get clean
E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the download directory
root@id-laptop:~# apt-get autoremove
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
root@id-laptop:~# apt-get update

==========================

In conclusion

a) ) first I would love a workaround to get apt-get working and my wifi working

b) then fix launchpad so people can report bugs without a huge burden

c) then lets fix this bug so no workrouand is needed.

Thanks. J
