Hmm, I can't get this to happen here with F9 or F8 OOo. I wonder (though
I tried this as well without reproducing the problem) if you had writer
running as root ? I can't think of any other scenario with a shared
lockfile.

Well, remove the || : and it will just fail. You probably want to avoid
doing that though, its a world of pain for everyone when transactions
fail, especially on remove/upgrade paths.
