From my duplicate bug #372460: This is probably due to this absurdly small timeout in update-notifier-0.78/src/update-notifier.c:

#define TIMEOUT_APT_RUN 120 /* 120 sec */

Though even if the timeout expires, update-notifier should check to see whether a package manager is still working, instead of advising the user to immediately reboot which would forcefully abort the operation in progress.
