APT-GET PROBLEM

[Doug <appld@sasktel.net>]

Using Debian 6 and trying to load the lib type files and this is what 
I get. Not sure
why and how to overcome it. the dpkg/lock file is empty. Can anyone 
tell me what I
have missed or how I can fix this.


root@ve5da:~# apt-get install libncurses5-dev -y
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?
root@ve5da:~#


Thanks
