Good. The names are the same but they are linked against different
libraries (the rpm versions in 8.0 and 9 are different), so they are
really different.

I have not seen this before. It looks like some other process has the
lock taken. Make sure you do not have an errant apt-get or rpm process
still running in the machine ("ps -axuw|grep apt-get").
