Kinda reminds me of when I lose parity during a connection... But anyways.... always amazes me how little people read... "is another process using it?" hmmm... let me see, is something else trying to update the system at the same time? – lornix Jun 23 '14 at 05:34

See if synaptic is running? try "ps -e | grep synaptic" – Anurag Rana Jun 23 '14 at 06:42

One unfortunately cannot have two programs that use 'apt' running at the same time. That means you can't run software center & synaptic, or try to run either while doing apt-get something in the terminal. Trying to run two of these applications simultaneously will result in the error you posted. So close down synaptic and/or the software center, and it should be fixed.
