Ubuntu终端出现Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

通过终端安装程序sudo apt-get install ***时出错： 

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? 

出现这个问题可能是有另外一个程序正在运行，导致资源被锁不可用。而导致资源被锁的原因可能是上次运行安装或更新时没有正常完成，进而出现此状况，解决的办法其实很简单： 

在终端中敲入以下两句 

sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock 

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
