Hi.

I get a message like that if I try to do something as a normal 
user that should only be done as root.
The other time it can happen is if I am already using apt as 
root in another console.
That file is what it's name says: a lock file to keep two things 
from writing to the same database.


Hope this helps.
          Kenny
