No, no other package management application running at the same time. I'm not sure what is causing that error since the lock seems to be created by the upgrade process. Eg. if i start the upgrade via "do-release-upgrade" and try to run apt simultaneously, apt will exit out because there's already a lock.
If i run apt alone, it works fine and doesn't complain about any lock. If i try run "do-release-update" simultaneously as running apt manually, the upgrade exits out much earlier because of the pre-existing lock. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1633545 Title: PermissionError on upgrading from 16.04 to 16.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1633545/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
