Mark, thanks for taking the time to report this bug. This is actually an occurrence of a known issue (bug 48627) that is being worked on. I will mark this report as a duplicate and you can follow developments in the other thread. In the short term running the following command should solve your problem: sudo dpkg --configure -a this tells dpkg to configure the remaining packages that were interrupted and should then release the database lock. Hope that helps, Rich ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 48627 Poor resolution of "database locked" problem -- Adept manager is holding add/remove programs files hostage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194977 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
