I get the same basic issue with "sudo aptitude update". It was hanging on one of the package repositories, so I had to ctrl-C it. Subsequent attempt to re-run the command gave me this error:
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Couldn't lock list directory..are you root? Cancelling a hanged aptitude/apt-get/adept operation should be considered a first-class operation that leaves the system in a usable state. -- Poor resolution of "database locked" problem https://launchpad.net/bugs/48627 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
