Package: apt
Version: 0.7.25.3
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/apt-get
Hello,
apt-get source reports an error while trying to acquire locks under
/var/lib/apt/lists
- apt-get is run without root superuser power,
- non other apt/aptitude processes are running at the same time,
- except for downloading source packages from time to time, I do not
use apt (I assume this is the reason why the lock files where not
available); I use aptitude for system maintenance and installation of
new packages.
- the problem was solved by manually creating the required files as a root
user.
Here is below a more detailed report of the activity where the error
occurred and how it was fixed.
Cheers
Damien

Closing it now, as the translations are different now (so it's probably
fixed), and there was no response from the submitter since 5 years.
