"Should be fixed" is easy to say, but it's meaningless.  Provide details,
what's your proposal?  It doesn't matter if the lock can be held for a shorter
duration, the locking conflicts will still occur, it will just be less likely.
But failing to handle a less-likely error is still a failure.

How specifically do you propose to handle the case where nightly periodic jobs
are running at the same time as package building and/or installation and there
is lock contention?  Will there be retries?  A limit to how many times or how
long to keep retrying?  A way to configure those limits?
