I've tried to get around this first by doing: rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock dpkg --configure -a apt-get install -f
But what I installed previously is now held in an inconsistent state. I can't be apt-get purge'd and it can't be properly installed. So I: dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq <packagename> And apt-get install something else instead. But every time it gets to upacking it locks up again. -- INFO: task dpkg:23317 blocked for more than 120 seconds. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/624877 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
