Thank you Andreas for your response. I tried removing matlab-support but I get the following response. I am not sure if any other process is using the admin directory.
-PC:~$ sudo apt remove matlab-support N: Ignoring file '50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1645139 Title: "package matlab-support 0.0.21 failed to instal.." comes up everytime i try to install a new software To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/matlab-support/+bug/1645139/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
