You need to close any other package management applications (e.g. Synaptic) that are running and try the commands again.

Sometimes the apt background updater can have problems and not free up the lock. In this case you will have to find the apt process and kill it manually. Use the process id found by the first command (the number after the user name, usually five digits) in the second command and ignore the "grep apt" line.

Try:
      ps aux | grep apt
then:
      sudo kill *****
else:
      sudo killall apt
