    Can't auto-update - "Database locked"

    Hello,

    I'm new in the world of linux, but I like it so far.

    One problem though: When trying to auto-update, or doing anything with Adept, I get the message that some other program is using the packaging system database.

    I've tried to reboot; don't understand what is causing this..

    I did an update to 355 (not with the auto-update service), but got a failure message halfway through. Can this be a problem? When clicking the system-menu at the bottom toolbar I get "twins" of all locations; 2 home folders, 2 storage medias and so on.. I figure this happened in the update as well?



    Any help appreciated

    Try this command in a shell

    sudo dpkg --configure -a

    Hope this fixes your problem
