programming error in aptdaemon - I seem to have a program running some where that I cant find - I dont know if its XAMPP or the previouse download of WINE that I couldnt get to go through - how do I correct this? I cant use Synaptics and when I try to download from the manager it says I have to remove a program but it gives me an error when I try to romove.

this is the message I keep getting at the end

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?

and then I try to follow this advice

 Do this.

From your desktop click applications, software center.

Then type wine in the search box. Then, select wine from the list, and click the install button.

OK I installed WINE but right now the installation is stuck at the package configuration TERMINAL. This is what the terminal says.

I press enter and the page wont move forward - what do I do after this part?

P.S. The only reason I'm installing this is to be able to use Notepad++ so I can type some PHP code and use it in XAMPP.

Please help
Thank You!!!
