Hi all, I've been hit by this one, and for the time being cannot solve it. 
Attempting to run apt-get install -f gives me:
"E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (2: No such file or 
directory)
 E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg), are you root?"

I am root. Was running the upgrade to 11.04 from an up-to-date system on
10.10.

I'll be glad to upload helpful files once I recover, but at the moment
the system is pretty isolated.

What is the recommended recovery process from here?

Thanks,
Robert.
