[sudo] password for lynda: 
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?

The process seems to be hanging after 'install completed':

Loading new bcmwl-6.30.223.141+bdcom DKMS files... Building only for 3.13.0-37-generic Building for architecture i686 Building initial module for 3.13.0-37-generic Done.

wl: Running module version sanity check. - Original module - No original module exists within this kernel - Installation - Installing to /lib/modules/3.13.0-37-generic/updates/dkms/

depmod....

DKMS: install completed.

In another Terminal I get:

nmcli nm RUNNING STATE WIFI-HARDWARE WIFI WWAN-HARDWARE WWAN
running connected enabled enabled enabled disabled

Cannot afford to spend any more time on this. 14.04 has been a disappointment - have had more problems on recent installs than I ever had on 12.04. Will now downgrade.

This usually means you have another window open somewhere that is running updates or installing software. You can only run one dpkg process at a time. Ensure that other operations are finished and you do not have another package manager like synaptic running when you run an apt-get command
