> 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."
That's not a lock failure; it actually lacks permissions to access the
file.
What are the permissions of /var/lib/dpkg/lock? (run ls -l
/var/lib/dpkg/lock) Also, you *are* running apt-get as root, right?
