Are you sure? Usually, synaptic and apt-get (command line) are also considered software managers. If you still encounter issues, you can use the following command in the terminal to see all running processes -

ps -x

Also Update manager will cause the lock file.

try

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sometimes Update Manager gets stuck.

If you really do not have any of the things the others posted open then look at this:

It seems that the ubuntu software centre reports this error (wrongly!) when its repository list is in a bad state etc.

Hope that helps
