It mostly occurs when you are installing some packages and force quit in between, try logging out and then login again. – Abhishek Prakash Apr 01 '18 at 07:52

1)run ps -aux command Find the process with apt as in their name and kill those processes using kill -9 process-id
2) Remove that lock file using rm commnad.. -i recommended to do first method
