Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdebi

After clicking Install Package in gdebi while another package manager was running it of course said that another package manager was running. So it when back to the main screen and the status bar said "Installing Package..." when it wasn't. Look at the screenshot.

Using Ubuntu 8.04 beta with latest updates

jacob@Jacobs-Laptop-L:~$ apt-cache policy gdebi
gdebi:
  Installed: 0.3.6
  Candidate: 0.3.6
