Hi, The error message is saying that the apt database is locked for some reason.
That reason could be apt-get, aptitude, synaptic or update-manager either installing something, or updating the package cache. If this is still happening for you then it is more likely to be a stale lock being held, does it work if you delete /var/lib/dpkg/lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock Thanks, James -- can't dowload skype :( https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195632 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
