Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt
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?
99% of the time when a user sees this message, it's because they also
have synaptic open, or the add/remove applications applet, or another
apt-get going. The message should be changed to warn the user about
this. As is, the user is just going to double check they're running it
as sudo, notice that they are, and likely not be able to figure out the
problem without external help.
** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
