Hi all,
I was updating zorin OS 17.1 and got the message "Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock. It is held by process 1080 (packagekitd)".
Can anybody help with this problem? what does it mean?
Thanks in advance.
This generally means that you have another open process that is trying to install something. Close any terminals or open package managers first - or just reboot.
If that does not resolve it, check if you have any installed software like KeePass that has a permissions issue.

Could You take a Look in the Gnome Software Center and control there if automatic Updates are active?
