Now am able to get into the software centre. Thank you very much!

How can I get the cairo-dock without having to experience the same problem.

For installing cairo-dock on your system you no more need any extra repository source, because current stable versions are available in the standard Ubuntu repositories.

sudo apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins

should be enough.

Hi,

This is what am getting when I try the sudo command you suggested.

                       Depends: libetpan15 (>= 1.0) but it is not
installable

Ok, there are still some minor weaknesses in your sources.list, but now it should work.

Try again

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins

and copy/paste all output as done before.

sudo apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins;

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?

Apparently there currently is another package management process running.
Make sure that update-manager, synaptic package management and similar programs all are closed, and that you do not have apt-get or dpkg running in another terminal window.

Then try again

sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins

It has finally installed with no errors. What remains is to launch the dock now. Thanks for the assistance.
