i use kubunto7.1... I try to instill skype using APT and this what happened with me

Quote:

sudo apt-get install skype
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?

i instill a lot of programs using APt but it seems that it could not find the source of skype.

#Skype
# deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free

I do not run *buntu it may also be in multiverse.

Or you can try:
sudo apt-get install libqt3c102-mt
wget -c http://frankandjacq.com/ubuntuguide/....11-1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i skype_1.2.0.11-1_i386.deb

You cna always just grab the .deb package from Skype itself:

are you running two instances of apt, or apt and synaptic at the same time ??
