Looks like apt is already running that's what this means "Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock"

The reason it is unable to get the package is because update failed because it could not get the lock

I would suggest rebooting the computer so that apt fill clear itself up and then run this script that I use to setup my computer with netflix

#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:pipelight/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y pipelight-multi
sudo pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight
sudo apt-get install -y netflix-desktop

if you still cannot get a lock then maybe remove the lock file though this is very questionable

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock

not done still editing
