When I try to install a package I have this error
Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
I'm sure that It's not true.

Guys, from console type "sudo ps aux" & see if there is a zombie adept process locking the file if there is type "sudo kill process number"
I.E. sudo kill 9999 then try again. The can be multiple instances zombied!

I no other process are using dpkg, run
from the command line.Code:sudo dpkg --configure -a
This happens when a program that uses dpkg, such as apt-get, or aptitude, or Adept, or Synaptic get closed incorrectly, such as happens if you had a lock up and had to reboot while one of those programs was running.Comment
