Title:
  update manager runs even when config states to never check

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In update-manager settings on the Update tab, 'Automatically check for
  updates' is set to Never.

  In terminal session, running 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' will sometimes result with the following:
  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 times, Update Manager will start when updates are available.

  I run Ubuntu in VMs (infrequently right now) and open a terminal
  session upon starting the VM to obtain updates before beginning any
  other work.  I set the option to Never because I don't need the slow
  Update Manager to do what I am handling manually (in a much faster
  manner).  And when I select the option to Never check for updates, it
  really should NEVER check!
