explain

This problem occurs because there is another thread that is using apt-get for downloading. But strangely enough, I just didn't find any other terminal interface using the apt-get directive. So how to solve this problem, do you want to restart the computer, restart the computer can solve the problem, but the next way I teach you is the real solution. Solutions

Search for all running threads first

ps-a | grep apt-get

You will get output similar to the following:

Root        752  0.0  0.0   4508  1628?        Ss   01:13   0:00/bin/sh/usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily
_apt       2098  0.1  0.1  49572  5524?        S    01:18   0:06/usr/lib/apt/methods/http
aobo       4425  0.0   0.0 18484 980 PTS/1    s+   02:13   0:00 grep--color=auto Apt

The 2nd column is the thread number (kill Processnumber). We have closed the process of apt , and need to use sudo permissions:

# sudo kill processnumber
sudo kill 2098

Output:

Bash:kill: (2098)-Operation not permitted

Now close the current terminal , and then reopen a terminal, sudo apt-get command can be used.
