Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-notifier-kde
Using Intrepid Ibex
I just upgraded more than 100 packages.
However the update_notifier in KDE told me that I had to reboot long before the upgrade was done.
If I had rebooted when the update_notifier told me to, I would have interupted the upgrade process and possibly broken the package-system.

Confirming.
The notifier needs a new check coded - it needs to go into a busy state if there is an upgrade being performed. During this, it should display a busy icon and wait for apt/adept/ aptitude/ synaptic processes to finish (i.e. release their lock on the package db).
