Thanks for your report. This is not a bug, as you are trying to use two
package managers at once. Check to see if you have synaptic open while
you are trying to use apt-get or update-manager, or some similar
situation.

Thanks. This error means that there is another dpkg instance running. Do
you have Synaptic open? What is the output of:
"sudo lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock"
