Bug Description

Binary package hint: computer-janitor

trying to use computer-janitor using the window i get the following error msg:

"Das Äufräumen des Systems konnte nicht abgeschlossen werden. Stellen Sie sicher, dass keine andere Paketverwaltung, wie Synaptic oder die Aktualisierungsverwaltung, läuft."
=
"the cleaning could not be finished. Please make sure, that no other package-service, like Synaptic or the update-manager is running."

more information seems to be given by the text mode:

jakub@jakub-laptop:~$ sudo computer-janitor clean --all
