The Installation Software cocould not get lock/var/lib/dpkg/lock in ubuntu is incorrect. ubuntudpkg

The following error was reported when installing ssh on ubuntu today:

E: cocould 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?

After checking, the cause of this error is that other resources are installed, and the last installation fails to exit, causing the lock to be released.

Run the following command to solve the problem:

Sudo rm/var/cache/apt/archives/lock

Sudo rm/var/lib/dpkg/lock
