(base) email protected: sudo apt-get upgrade Reading packages lists.Done Building dependency tree Reading state information. Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? The dpkg lock-frontend error means a graphical application that uses dpkg / apt, is currently running, like Synaptic package manager, Gdebi or some other. Currently, I am getting the error message: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) This is the first I have ever encountered this, and I run this command every two to three days to keep my system up to date.
#Sudo apt upgrade unable to acquire dpkg lock update
Now if you run the sudo apt update command, everything should be fine.


After that, reconfigure the packages: sudo dpkg -configure -a. I am having troubles running the following command on my Linux Mint partition: sudo apt-get update & apt-get upgrade sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock.
