Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y

PROBLEM 4:
While installing wine (sudo apt-get install wine), at the end appeared a full page with blue edges:

Thinking that wine did not install, I re-ran sudo apt-get install wine

bumpy@bumpyputer:~$ sudo apt-get install wine
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
bumpy@bumpyputer:~$

... looking forward to your help!

#1: No way to tell whats causing those messages. You give no info about when/where they appear. Mostly they look like harmless notifications.

#2: You have an unreadable (corrupted, zero byte, or open and locked) or file/directory you do not have permissions for. Have you launched any GUI programs using sudo instead of kdesudo? .dbus folder is session specific only and should be excluded from backups anyway.

#3: As far as I know, autoremove does not accept filename input. From the manpage:
autoremove
autoremove is used to remove packages that were automatically installed to satisfy dependencies for other packages and
are now no longer needed.

#4: The lock files were left behind as a result of the abnormal termination of apt-get/dpkg. Delete /var/lib/dpkg/lock and run sudo apt-get -f install to continue the installation.

#4 movement between prompts on a console app is usually done using the Tab key.

OK - Thanks guys - I learned some new stuff, thanks to you!

bumpy@bumpyputer:~$ sudo apt-get install wine
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

This is what I ran:

bumpy@bumpyputer:/$ sudo rm -R /var/lib/dpkg
bumpy@bumpyputer:/$ cd /var/lib/dpkg
bash: cd: /var/lib/dpkg: No such file or directory
bumpy@bumpyputer:/var/lib$ sudo apt-get -f install
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (2: No such file or directory)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
bumpy@bumpyputer:/var/lib$

I need to solve this in order to install wine.

You didn't read the instructions correctly that ochunlver gave you. He did not tell you to delete the /var/lib/dpgk directory, he told you to delete the lock file, which is /var/lib/dpkg/lock

Now that you've deleted the directory /var/lib/dpkg you have a serious problem. Check this website out: http://people.adams.edu/~cdmiller/po...dpkg-recovery/
Keep in mind that you'll have to use the version numbers of the packages you have, not necessarily the ones listed in the article. Mine currently shows that dpkg is 1.17.5ubuntu5.3(trusty updates)



You may have to begin by recreating the /var/lib/dpkg directory.
kdesudo dolphin
and use it to do that, so that you don't get too handy with the command line. But, if you must, there here is a more recent explanation:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/38333...dpkg-directory

However, considering the complexity of the repair, you might want to opt for a clean reinstall from a checksummed ISO file that has been burned to a DVD using validate.

[SteveRiley]

Yeah, that recovery process certainly will work, but it's has its own fair share of sharp edges -- mess up one step, and recovery becomes nearly impossible. I concur with Jerry -- rebuild if you can.

[Bumpalot]

What a blunder I made!! But followed your instructions and rebooted OK!
-Booted my kubuntu 14.04 CD in live mode
-Mounted kubuntu 14.04 installation
-copied the livecd /var/lib/dpkg & it's contents over to my installation using kdesudo dolphin.
-Checked my dpkg & contents had root:root group & owner permissions
-Rebooted
SUCCESS!

Now I have another problem:

After I posted the above info I received a massive Muon Update (456.9MiB)
On completing, this Error Message popped up:
