at prompt typed apt-get wajig
print read... E:could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open

, is another process using it?

4. gunzip -d /var/lib/dpkg/dpkg.status.<any latest number>.gz

Hello,
the problem is that Synaptics acquires the lock.
if this is the problem how do i unlock synaptic ?
i then read...
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/list/lock
i typed this and was asked for password...i typed root...no good i typed userpassword and got the following print.
krash is not in the sudoers file. this incident will be reported.
I would just like to say that nothing is going right...and.. I would love to give this all up and watch tv...but tv is bad for me..
