    Do you have any idea how this would be possible? Both PK and Synaptic should hold the APT frontend lock, so they should never be able to run
    at the same time.

    If packagekit checks for the lock (I assume you claim it does), isn't it synaptics fault to not grab the lock? I.e. isn't this bug filed against the wrong package?

    Both synaptic and PackageKit need to support the frontend lock, I don't
    know if they do, that may involve calling UnLockInner() rather than
    UnLock(), and LockInner() rather than Lock() to regain released inner
    locks in some places.
