Question #76713 on update-manager in ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+question/76713
Al Butler proposed the following answer: This error can occur if you have another package manger open at the same time, such as synaptic or any other program that can install/upgrade packages. If no other package manager running try the following in the terminal: sudo ps -A | grep aptitude sudo ps -A | grep apt-get sudo ps -A | grep dpkg sudo ps -A | grep frontend These commands will show if any of these processes are running. Then if they are kill them with command. sudo kill [PROCESS NUMBER] if you have to kill dpkg, afterwards you will most likely have to run: dpkg --configure -a THat should hopefully resolve your issue. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
