I was trying to install Picasa on Ubuntu 12.04 and first had to install Wine which came up with a EULA that I could not see how to agree to.

When trying to install Picasa from the terminal I got the following message: 

ian@ian-Dimension-8100:~$ wine ~/picasa39-setup.exe
The program 'wine' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install wine1.4-i386
ian@ian-Dimension-8100:~$ sudo apt-get install wine1.4-i386
[sudo] password for ian: 
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

How to I overcome this problem? The following are the instructions I was following:

  1. Open a terminal by pressing Ctl+Alt+T or search terminal in Dash,then install wine and winetricks using below command

    sudo apt-get install wine winetricks

  2. Download Picasa 3.9 from Google use below command

    cd ~/ && wget http://dl.google.com/picasa/picasa39-setup.exe

  3. Install Picasa 3.9 via wine use below command

    wine ~/picasa39-setup.exe

  4. Install IE6 via winetricks

    WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine sh winetricks -q ie6

  5. Done, you launch Picasa 3.9 by searching picasa in Dash now

You can navigate the cursor with the tab key in console and 'click' buttons with space or enter.

So you basically hit the tab-key to get to the accept Button and then you hit enter.
