Bug Description

When KPackageKit cannot perform actions due to not getting the lock it displays the following message

"Cannot get the exclusive lock on the packaging backend. Please close any other legacy packaging tools that may be open"

The term legacy is not needed in this context. Just remove the legacy bit, it sounds negative.

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
