Idea #16115: apt-get shoul wait until it can work

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #13899: apt-queue.
Written by trylik the 1 Dec 08 at 19:16. Category: System. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
try to open synaptic, then type in konsole:

sudo apt-get install mc

what you get?
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?


i think it should be like in fedora10 -

"waiting for dpkg"
"waiting for dpkg"

This is one of the things gentoo does well that debian never has.

This is def a dupe though, most similar ideas are labeled as "queue for apt" or something similar.
