How about this problem?

    blp:/raid/home/blp$ apt-get update
    E: Couldn't lock the Output dir, /var/state/apt/lists/ another process is using it

However, if I run as root everything works.  Either the error message
needs to be fixed (``Couldn't lock the output dir.  You are not
root.'') or apt-get needs to be moved to /usr/sbin.  Maybe both.
