I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 from 15.10 using the Software Updater. The upgrade worked well and the software was impressively quick. Since then after 2 or 3 software updates the Software updater has stopped working and the window just hangs.
I have tried
sudo apt update
in a terminal window, but the message
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
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?
is returned.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
