Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

sudo apt-get install net-tools

Ubuntu 今天安装网络工具的时候出现错误

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?

出现这个问题可能是有另外一个程序正在运行，导致资源被锁不可用。而导致资源被锁的原因可能是上次运行安装或更新时没有正常完成，进而出现此状况，解决的办法其实很简单：

在终端中敲入以下两句

sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
