Comment 9 for bug 625189

A thought about getting 2 updates running concurrently.

When I have not run the ubuntu computer recently (it is set up for my
wife at the moment), I tend to go to Update Manager and run it
manually. If it would also run automatically, and I do not notice
that it is already running, that could cause it to run twice.

(I am stuck with using this windows xp computer because of some
software I need to use. Ubuntu is so very much more efficient and
faster on a computer with similar hardware. If I could get everything
I want to work on ubuntu, I would abandon windows completely.)
