E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (11: Resource temporarly unavailable)

Ubuntu install某个东西时，给出下面提示

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (11: Resource temporarly unavailable)

E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is an other process using it?

删除锁定文件，行了

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend       

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock

有可能是进程仍然还在。查看一下带apt的进程：

ps -e | grep apt

然后kill掉这些进程

sudo killall apt

sudo killall apt-get

sudo killall synaptic

继续执行sudo apt-get update

如果接着在ubuntu apt-get upgrade的时候，遇到：

E: Could not get lock /var/cache/

apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the download directory

出现这种问题可能是因为异常停止了运行中的程序，锁没有被释放导致，有两种办法

1.把这个文件删掉就好了

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

2.exit终端再重新打开
