When I put this command: sudo dpkg -i ./brscan3-0.2.11-3.i386.deb
It appears this message: dpkg: status database area is locked by another process

What can I do?

Make sure software centre is closed and that you are not runing updates and such. If so, let the updates finish and close software centre. If not then run:

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

Will free it up, then rerun the command

Can you give the output of:

cd ~; wget http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/brscan3-0.2.11-3.i386.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./brscan3-0.2.11-3.i386.deb; rm ./brscan3-0.2.11-3.i386.deb; sudo apt-get -f install

Copy it as ONE command (which is what it is) and paste to terminal. What is output?

When I put that as ONE command appears:

Try `wget --help' for more options.

There is no carridge return after wget

wget means download the file I define from the web, so not giving it a file to download makes no sense. If you read the command you can see what is going on..

Can you help with this problem?
