Update fail
#1
Hello

I tried updating today and it showed me there are updates available but then an error occurred and was pointed to /var/logs/llupdates.log
Code:
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?

I tried again to look if there are updates available but it couldn't fetch updates. Tried one more time and now it says my system is up to date and lite widget shows "Your system was recently updated" although no update has been done recently.( for 3 days )

There will be a fix for this in the next version of Lite Software to make it more robust. In the meantime do:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/lock

to fix.
