Mar 22	comment	Upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 loops and fails with “Unable to get exclusive lock” @mordoc It worked -- find/replace and dist-upgrade. Thanks for the hint.

Mar 16	comment	Upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 loops and fails with “Unable to get exclusive lock” @Mordoc There is something wrong with the release-upgrade, i've checked the lock and it is not there. I can do regular updates and install new packages no problem. I suspect the problem is related to the loop I mentioned, as if it is forking a dpkg process too many times until they eventually lock up and the process dies.
