You need to kill the "package updater" first.

One way to do it is:

ps aux | grep dpkg

(or if it's not dpkg but apt-get or aptitude, you can try:

ps aux | grep apt )

which will give you the PID of the process. Then you kill it with

sudo kill -9 <the PID number>

Then you can try to update process.

Hope it helps.

Best,
Steve
