Software - virtual database area is locked by another process grumpshappy - 06.08.2008, 20:02 Uhr Titel: virtual database area is locked by another process
I made a failed attempt to install virtualbox. The scrip just hung. The prelims must not be installed.
Code:
jerry@Munn003:~$ sudo dpkg --purge $(dpkg -l|awk '/virtualbox/{print $2}')
dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
jerry@Munn003:~$
How do I kill the hung deb file and unlock the database.

It seems you run apt-get or synaptics the same time, that will not work.
