Update Error

[Smaug95swe]

Okey today when i started my computer i got an error from the updater saying the Following

Ubuntu 10.10
__________________________________________________ _______
NOT ALL UPDATES CAN BE INTALLED
Run a part upgrade to install as many as possible.

This can be caused by:
*A earlier update that hasent been complete
*Problem with parts of the installed software
*In offical program packages that havent been "?Something?" By ubuntu
*Common changes in a early version of ubuntu
___________________________________
So what should i do? Just take Part update?
and do you know what may be the cause of this.
Only thing i installed lately was a "game" from the ubuntu Program central and i havent runned it and i restarted my computer 1 time before this when having it installed.

Just a suggestion. I hope it works, and sorts out the packages: Open terminal and enter:

sudo apt-get -f check

The 'F' (-f) is for fix, and the check is just to check your apt packages and dependencies. It might not fix things, but it only takes a minute. Not sure what else to suggest. Good luck.

This is what it said... (swedish

Kunde inte erhålla låset /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resursen tillfälligt otillgänglig)
Kunde inte låsa administrationskatalogen (/var/lib/dpkg/). Använder en annan process den?


Eng fail translation

Could not keep the lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: the resource is for the moment unuseable
Couldnt lock the administrator catalog (Folder?) (/var/lib/dpkg/). Is another process using it?

Thats all it said nothing else... I tried as root too

Try to close all windows and run


sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

does it work?

[Enigmapond]

Just run the partial upgrade and then upgrade again. This happens sometimes when the update is interrupted...I would, however reboot prior and that should release the lock.

[Smaug95swe]

Can you copy and paste the complete error message to the Forum? The English version.

Try from a terminal
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

It will give a description of what it will try to do,just make sure it doesn't try to un-install your complete Desktop before you give it the go-ahead.

Good Luck

Try removing the lock file with
cd /var/lib/dpkg/
sudo rm lock

If that works,run
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Good Luck

Hello! I have the same problem. Tried removing the lock but appears to stay and still the same error message.

[megnetz]

sudo apt-get clean gives the same error message.

Please describe in all detail what you have tried and post the error messages. It is not clear what 'the same' means.
