why cant i install Viber in 32 bit Lubuntu? I have following problem

Question

$ sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i viber.deb
dpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process

Answer 1

This problem comes from the package manager not shutting down properly. You could either restart your computer or open up the terminal and type in the following:

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock

Then

sudo dpkg --configure -a
