[Bug 368904] [NEW] KPackageKit displayed truncated "Cannot get the exclusive lock" alert

[skierpage]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kpackagekit

In KDE 4.2.2 on Kubuntu 9.04,
KPackageKit and/or KDE Control Center put up an alert that was truncated.  I took a screenshot (after moving the alert to expose the dialog underneath), see attachment.
I resized the alert to read the full message, but the whole thing should have been visible.

After I resized, the alert is
  Cannot get the exclusive lock on the packaging backend.
  Please close any other legacy packaging tools that may be open.

I think the circumstances were I was adding a new software source in
KPackageKit while Software Update was downloading some security updates,
and that has locked up both of them.  I'll file a separate bug for that,
this bug report is just the cosmetic display bug.
