Sirs/Madam,
  I attempted to download Ultimatix and now I am unable to use any of my package managers to install programs.  I have tried several apt-get commands and receive the following error message: "Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock -open 13 permission denied."

 How might I correct this problem?

Regards,
L.R. Young
