Comment 3 for bug 288660

Thank you for answer. When I' ve seen that message "unable to have exclusive lock", I've rebooted the computer and tried again to download the updates but I've had the same message again. I've lauched sistem monitor, triing to see if there was open some process like synaptic or aptitude but there was nothing like this. I really don't understand what happens but i think i have to try to reinstall the system again. I've installed the distro called gutsy gibbon and then updated to hardy heron, i don't know if you need this information. Thank you for attention, excuse me for bad english (i'm italian) bye bye
