I'm not able to install, update or do anything else with apt-get
, aptitude
, dpkg
and so on.
The lock-file /var/lib/dpkg/lock
exists from boot-time on. When I delete it and run apt-get update
, it prints out, that dpkg has been interrupted.
I tried dpkg --configure -a
as mentioned in the help text, but that runs into a problem with gconf2:
root@andre-ubuntu:/home/andre# dpkg --configure -a
Setting up libbonoboui2-0:amd64 (2.24.5-0ubuntu2) ...
Setting up libgnomeui-0:amd64 (2.24.5-2ubuntu3) ...

ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
Setting up gconf2 (3.2.6-0ubuntu1) ...
(gconftool-2:16760):
GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application
did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply,
the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
dpkg
stops at this point and i can't even interrupt it with Ctrl+C.
I have the following version of Ubuntu:
Linux andre-ubuntu 3.8.0-19-generic #30-Ubuntu
SMP Wed May 1 16:35:23 UTC 2013
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Do you have any ideas what to do?
