Ok, if I start Synaptic: - 'apt-get update' complains that: 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? - update-manager -> Check says "Waiting for Synaptic to exit" which is all correct.
However, if I do 'apt-get update' and immediately hit 'Check' in update- manager, a window pops up saying: " An unhandled error occured There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks.
