Yes. Release the lock. Do this by either: quitting the program that has
the lock, or, _if_ you know the program that created the lock is no longer
running, but didn't clean up after itself, remove the lock manually. Note
that if you're running aptitude or one of its gui front ends, they'll
control these locks.
>From the sound of it, you're running apt-get install foo and apt-get install
gd at the same time. Don't do it that way. Just do "apt-get install foo
gd". That way, they'll both be installed and you won't have to worry about
locks.
