Upgrade issue

[Dave_L]

BC 4.0.0-18629
Ubuntu 12.04.4

It's convenient that the bcompare4 repository works now.

But the upgrade should not automatically resynchronize the package index files by running "apt-get update". It causes a problem:

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?

Other Ubuntu package upgrades don't do this. The convention, I believe, is that "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" are completely independent; the "upgrade" should not try to do an "update".

The file "postinst" in the .deb contains:

...
##
# Add our repository to the repository list
##
if [ -d /etc/apt/sources.list.d ]; then
	if [ -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/scootersoftware.list ]; then
		rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/scootersoftware.list
	fi
	cp /usr/lib/beyondcompare/scootersoftware.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
	[COLOR="Red"][b]apt-get update[/b][/COLOR]
fi
...
