E:Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
When using sudo apt-get install… in Ubuntu system
Encountered an error:
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?
Analysis:
In fact, it is the problem of resources being occupied by other processes. Killing other processes to release resources should be no problem.
Solution one (simple and rude):
sudo pkill apt
Solution two (if method one does not work):
Update apt
sudo apt-get install update
Solution three (if the second method is not possible)
Force unlock
sduo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
