Can't Install the Web Apps in Ubuntu 16.04 I tried to do this to resolve the problem but got error message saying,

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?

You should remove the lock file. After that try again what you wanted to do.

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock

Remove your /var/lib/dpkg/lock file.

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
sudo dpkg --configure -a

after this run sudo apt-get update.

It should work fine now.
