Pasting in an error with no context is not very useful :-)

When do you see this error? that is, what command are you performing?

You either need to close other package management programs using apt or manually remove the lock file. There should only be a "stale" lock file if apt was interrupted the last time it ran, so be sure that you do not have anything running using apt before deleting the lock file.
