    E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
    E: Unable to lock directory /var/cache/apt/archives/

Well it's simple.. exit your terminal and try again.. If still it doesn't help then restart your system.. You can also try to kill apt-get process by: sudo pkill apt-get. Then try again. — Saurav Kumar, Oct 23 '13 at 19:54

After a little probing the thread on this page solved my problem, close this hoe!

Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/) is another process using it?
