System - Administration - System Monitor and check that there are no package managers running. If there is one running highlight it and right click and choose "Kill process"
If there are no package managers running then try in a terminal (Applications>accessories>terminal)

sudo dpkg --configure -a If that does not work you may need to remove the lock file. But hopefully one of the above 2 will work.
