Although the man page for apt-get indicates the --simluate means locking
will be disabled, testing indicates it isn't.
Indeed, regulary collecting facts causes it to clash with the apt_update
Exec occasionally, resulting in failures to lock /var/lib/dpkg
Spefically setting the NoLocking option fixes the issue.
