Why can't I download Lime Wire, Frost Wire?

Asked by Melinda

When I download LimeWire, FrostWire I get this error message and it will not let me install the program. Only one software management tool is allowed to run at the same time. Please close the other appliation e.g. “Update Manager' , aptitude' or 'Synaptic first. I don't even have any other applications open. Thanks!

Try a reboot. If its still the same run:

sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade

You cannot have more than one app accessing the packages.

Here is the community documentation for frostwire:
