When I run "sudo apt-get install bum" I get the following output:

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?

Is there any way I can fix this?

If you get such such error just run these two commands

  • sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
  • sudo dpkg --configure -a
