Unable to install ubuntu-desktop on Lucid

[Tony Mugan]

Binary package hint: update-manager

The latest updates have given this error after trying the offered partial upgrade.

After killing that process, I hit a lock

tony@lucid:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade
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?

If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a terminal:

sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock; sudo dpkg --configure -a

Also, please answer these questions:

* Is this reproducible?
* If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

This will help us to find and resolve the problem. Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
