Update errors on Xubuntu12.04
- by Kris Everett
I'm trying to install updates via the Update Manager, and I got this error:
The Package system is broken Check if you are using third party
repositories. if so disable them, since they are a common source of
problems. Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get
install -f
When I run apt-get install -f, I get:
E: could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission Denied E: Unabvle to lock administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
What is wrong? How do I fix it? Why does this happen?
