[Bug 743359] Re: Installer: LockFailedException: Failed to lock /target/var/cache/apt/archives/lock

When there is a lot of updates, apt takes time to run. Terminating
update-apt-cache doesn't end apt which holds the lock hence the
LockFailedException when ubiquity tries to install langpacks or remove
packages after installation.
