After which system wil not install anything at all and gives this error:

Another application seems to be using the package system at this time.
You must close all other package managers before you will be able to install or remove any packages.


tried every single thing i could find on the internet, nothing works, eventually everything leads to sudo dpkg --configure -a, but once i use it, i believe it attempts to reinstall wifi card driver and instantly leads to black scren of death.


Now i cant installany program at all, cant install updates or anything else.

Can someone please help find a solution for this?

Thank you!

Managed to solve it myself by teleting lock file in /var/lib/dpkg/ , and deleting everything in /var/lib/dpkg/update/

These cursed files have reappeared themselves in dpkg and update. ne of them is lock file and two files in update.

One of the files in update cintains info on this broken driver that tries to install itself.
