Update interactes badly with noninteracitve automatic updates

[Thomas Trummer]

Ubuntu 9.04, update-manager 1:0.111.9

I've enabled automatic installation of critical (security) updates. This conflicts with the behavior of the update manager. The update manager checks for new updates and shows the update dialog if there are critical and normal updates while installing the critical updates in the background. If you click Install in the dialog it will fail since it can't get the lock because there is already the installation of the critical updates running.

Thanks for your bugreport.

When running in auto-open mode, update-notifier will now check for that and not auto-open for security updates because it knows that they are applied unattended.

Is is possible to check if unattended upgrades are running, before launching the update-notifier (vs. checking for security updates)?

From what I understand, the current fix would not prevent update-manager from launching to install some non security related update, even if unattended security updates are currently running in the background, leading to a lock error when I would click "install updates". Is this correct?

I'm happy to see this bug fixed, but it's not a paper cut.
