[Bug 1022386] [NEW] Unable to obtain lock file:///etc/ held by root

[martin suc]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

When I tried to run:
etckeeper init
I have got error:

Unable to obtain lock file:///etc/ held by root <root at PCEUBU1.localdomain> on PCEUBU1 (process #31748), acquired 169 hours, 41 minutes ago.
Will continue to try until 22:28:01, unless you press Ctrl-C.
See "bzr help break-lock" for more.
bzr: ERROR: Could not acquire lock "(local)": file:///etc/
etckeeper warning: bzr add failed

this error appeared even if I am doing apt-get upgrade.
