'exclusive lock' error

I've just done a clean install of Kubuntu 9.04 and thought I'd try KPackageKit.

The interface is clean and I installed a software package without any trouble.

I then stacked up several packages to install at once but there was an installation error with sun-java6. I de-selected sun-java6 and tried again but KPackageKit now reports "Cannot get the exclusive lock on the packaging backend. Please close any other legacy packaging tools that may be open."

However I haven't used any other packaging tools on this system so it seems that KPackageKit locked itself out when it hit the error. I tried a reboot but no change.

Do you know how I can clear the lock?

Thanks.

Running 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' fixed this problem by completing the configuration of the packages which had been downloaded but not installed.

The problem is that you backend is not able to install some kinds of packages, (blame your distro..) :P

Is there any way to make KPackageKit download the packages via the proxy I have to use? I can't find any setting that is respected.

I'm using version 0.4.0 on Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty and I really dislike the search function. I don't understand why the search defaults to using OR operators instead of AND. Every word I add to a search increases the number of results, rather than narrowing them. This makes it nearly impossible to find a package if I don't know its name or a fairly unique word for what I want.

No problem it's hard to complain on something you don't know the design, it's more obvious to think KPackageKit has the problem.
What normally happens is that if you can reproduce the bug in gnome-PackageKit then the fault is probably on the backend, otherwise it can be in the GUI.
