Creates a lock file to help avoid accidentally running multiple sessions of the package manager at one time.

This can help with avoiding race conditions.

Note that this likely won't completely stop someone from running the package manager multiple times at once, since checking for a lock file and adding it is a race condition by itself. However, the system administrator shouldn't try to exploit race conditions anyways.
