Host Convergence Failure Due to Inability to Acquire DPKG Frontend Lock

Problem
When a command or an application is updating the system, it locks the dpkg file (Debian package manager) to ensure that two processes don’t change the content at the same time thereby resulting into an unwarranted situation. When such a condition occurs, the service script in this case for pf9-kube fails to execute followed by a host convergence failure.
All Certs generated successfullyE: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it? stderr=681 - pf9_app.py WARNING - Failed to set service pf9-kube to state True810 - session.py INFO - Converge failedEnvironment

- Hostagent
Cause
We can see that an apt-get purge docker-ce process runs limiting the pf9-kube to acquire a lock on the docker installation procedure as a part of the pf9-kube script service execution.
