Come to think of it I did run into this problem once a long time ago, and for me
*$ sudo apt-get update* fixed the problem for me personally. A rookie mistake I made in a hurry while trying to install packages without updating after a fresh install as I recall. I'd hesitate deleting the apt-lock file as this may be in place intentionally to avoid problematic packages. In this case I'd wait for input from Robert first.
