Locked installer
I was trying to install Libreoffice and cancelled it in the midle but now the installer is locked forever and it says ' Another installation is still running. ' how can i get out from this ? And now I am not able to install any other apps too.
cancelled it in the midle
We need to find a way to prevent users from interrupting running installs, as it can lead to situations like this.
Do you still get this after a reboot?

pkg clean has no effect on the installer. It is better to kill the app if cancel button is clicked. I feel it is the only way an user can avoid this lock.

A running installation should not be interrupted because it can apparently destroy the package database.
Maybe this will help: https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO/commit/e49f2ab121843447b1f71be9c98b07cf2af1e60d
I tried to install from command line using pkg install command, interrupted the process by ctrl+c. Then tried to install the same package, the package installed without any issue.

Users have the right to cancel the installation of the software and uninstall the software, we still have to have something to stop the installation.
If there is a termination during the download process (or if the network is suddenly disconnected for one minute, the user is notified whether to try again, and then the user ends the program), then reverse the installation and remove the downloaded package. Restore the system instead of just shutting down and ending the program,
