Hey all,

Trying to update my Ubuntu Xenial template, but hitting following
dependency issue. You can see my attempts to resolve this to no avail:

Package xorg-video-abi-18 is not available, but is referred to by
another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'xorg-video-abi-18' has no installation candidate
user@xenial-desktop:~$

Any idea how one would get out of this situation? Is anyone else facing
this with their Xenial VM?

Also I sometimes get the error that /var/lib/apt/lists/lock is present
when starting my xenial machine and thus it cannot update/upgrade. Is
there any way to ensure this file isn't present after a reboot/stop the
system from occasionally not cleaning this file up?

Thanks.
