I have tried to download BleachBit twice now, and both times it has gotten hung up very early in the download

What is the output of :

apt-cache policy bleachbit; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

Ok. Run:

sudo apt-get install bleachbit

sudo apt-get clean
 message is unable to lock the download directory

 sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a

Should do it. Be sure software centre and synaptic are closed

When I have tried that entry I get this response:
E: Unable to lock the download directory
E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unablke to lock the download directory

Sorry I missed your response from 4 hours ago
(sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a)
I have just tried it several times and I get refused
Last response was "sudo: dpkg--configure-a: command not found"
I may not be typing precisely for spaces and spaces before dashes, etc, but I have tried with spaces and no spaces before dashes.
I know dos or dos like commands must be precise, but i think i must have in at least one of my several attempts.
Would a reboot help?
I truly appreciate your patience.
Thank you!!

Don't type the command. Copy and Paste it.

I use Ctl C to copy and Ctl V to paste, which seems to work everywhere but in terminal. When I did the select and copy then pste into terminal it did work.
Again thank you!!

In a terminal:

CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + C to copy

CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + V to paste

Sorry

CTRL + SHIFT + {C,V}

Or use mouse
