Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-store

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open software-store
2) Install one piece of software (through software-store)
3) Quicky before the other finishes installing, try to install another piece of software (through software-store)

What happens: software-store freezes for a sec, and then outputs to the terminal

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/aptdaemon/debconf.py", line 98, in _accept_connection
    raise IOError, "Multiple debconf connections not supported"
IOError: Multiple debconf connections not supported

Thanks for your bugreport.

I have seen this before, it seems to be some sort of race condition, I can not always reproduce it.
