Package: apt Version: 2.6.1 Severity: wishlist Dear APT maintainers,
thanks for implementing DPkg::Lock::Timeout. This is very useful for dpkg. A similar option would be very welcome for `apt update`, i.e. the lockfile usually placed at /var/lib/apt/lists/lock. Without this, scheduled/timed `apt-get update` executions (correctly) block manually started `apt-get update` executions, but the manual execution also fails. The failure behaviour is somewhat annoying in deployment scripts, where it can be worked around with a busy loop, but I think this is less than ideal. TL;DR: please provide an option for `apt-get update` to wait on its lock. Thanks, Chris
