E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process ..... 问题解决。

问题：

在vmware 虚拟机安装了ubuntu20。由于其它的操作，下载安装指令时，提示出错：

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process 。。。。
N: Be aware that removing the lock file is not a solution and may break your system.
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?

解决方法：

在Linux终端中的所在镜像依次输入下面的命令（要权限的前面加上sudo即可）

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock*
sudo dpkg --configure -a

操作完成后，就可以再次下载安装了。
