Half installed package error

[mckaymotoworks]

I attempted to install DraftSight via .deb package in 12.10 after the dependencies were met.
Received the following error when attempting to install from Terminal:
Selecting previously unselected package dassault-systemes-draftsight.
(Reading database … 211618 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking dassault-systemes-draftsight (from …/Downloads/draftSight.deb) …
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host

Now receiving system error notification that it's half installed and causing the error.
It's crashing the Software Center, I cannot figure out how to kill the offending dpkg or how to install what is installed to start over.

EDIT: sudo apt-get remove dassult-systemes-draftsight
[sudo] password for user:
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?

Made a bit more progress:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: The package dassault-systemes-draftsight needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

Says it's not installed:
user:~$ sudo dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq --remove dassult-systemes-draftsight
dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove dassult-systemes-draftsight which isn't installed
user@computer:~$ sudo dpkg -e DraftSight
dpkg-deb: error: failed to read archive `DraftSight': No such file or directory

Added a few screen shots, odd the Terminal says the software is not installed, but the Status file clearly shows it half installed as does the Crash log.

Can anyone help? Did I post in the wrong section? My system is unable to update until this is resolved.

[mckaymotoworks]

Can some one please point me to another board etc where I can possibly get this answered? I've tried to be patient waiting at least in 12hr or 24 increments before bumping.

are you sure it's not just a simple typo?

Thank you for pointing that out, quite embarrassing, it was indeed a typo.
Always the simple things..... :D
