[SOLVED] Apache2 Mod_security install problem

The Error

Quote:

---

root@terry-laptop:~# sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-security
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

---

All am trying to do is install the mod_security, but get stuck with above error.

am using version 8.04 Hardy Heron and the latest version of apache2

any help would be appreciated

Is synaptic running?

Code:

---

sudo lsof /var/lib/dpkg/*

---

Once you close synaptic, you will discover that libapache2-mod-security does not exist in hardy.

Cheers for the info, have found an alternative to mod_security now.

What can you use in place of mod_security?

I mainly use it for stopping spam?
