The error message does not say something is running in the background.
It does not say they should wait or for how long to wait.
It only says 'something' is locked.

It is not clear to normal users what to do. The user cannot progress. So it is serious.

Many people have put a lot of effort into making Ubuntu a user friendly distro. This bug report is to help them fix this usability issue.
