don't lock dpkg in update commands
The update command acquires a lock on lists/, but at the end it will also require the dpkg/lock while building the binary caches. That seems rather pointless as we are only reading those files, not causing writing in them. This can also cause problems if a package installation is running and a background process (like cron) starts an update: If you are "lucky" enough the update process will pick the dpkg lock in between apt calls causing the installation process to fail.
