Hi all,
? ? ?I am using ubuntu 10.10. when i tried to update or install
package via terminal i got the following error...
root at nithin-Inspiron-N5010:/home/nithin# apt-get update
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource
temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
Check that the file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock is there and owned by root.
if not create an empty file by the following command.
touch /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
then, run sudo apt-get update.
