Other application using package manager (constantly)
Hi,
I'm running Kubuntu 12.10. I constantly get the error message (Muon Package Manager) that another application is using the packagesystem. When I run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' the message goes away for a while, but the next day it's back.
Is there a better solution than the above command to see if there's a different problem that's causing these conflicts?
Re: Other application using package manager (constantly)
Normally when you get that you have an apt-get open in terminal or synaptic open. If you close the other one it will work for you.
If that don't work for you!
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get purge muon
sudo apt-get install muon
This will clear the apt lists and will fix your problem!
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo apt-get update
