Thanks for taking the time to report this bug in effort to help improve
Ubuntu. Can you please give us a little more information to help us
narrow down your issue?
What version of Ubuntu are you currently running?
Please attach the output of the following command: sudo aptitude show synaptic
, (if you want you can cut and paste into gedit and attach it here as a .txt
file.)
Can you also check to see if you have this file on your system:
/var/lib/dpkg/lock, if it's present you can try to do the following:
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock && sudo apt-get update . If it isn't present
then just reply with the other info and I will ask you try something
else.
Please back up any important files that you might think you may need
later.
Chris
