Adept \installer - crash

[fitz]

OK, I know I have done something really dumb....I though the installer had hung and I closed it down...

Now whenever I open the installer I get the message that it is already in use, and when I try to resolve the impasse, the thing crashes.....here is the print out...short of reinstalling the whole system, what can I do....as I can no longer import any programs.

Yeah, interrupting installations / upgrades will be problematic

This may be of help:

Hmmm!....does not really help.....this is the outcome of the autoremove..

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavail able)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another proc ess using it?


It is looking like a reinstall.....arrrgghhhh!

Re: Adept \installer - crash

Did you do this:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

sudo apt-get autoclean

sudo apt-get autoremove

in that oder?

If so try doing:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

sudo apt-get autoclean

again a few times then reboot and do:

sudo apt-get autoclean

again.

Stopping a install process is not very friendly to your system but not deadly
