What command from what website? Are you using `sudo`? Could you copy the complete operation, from start to end. Edit your question and add the information, do not use comments (these are comments). – Braiam Oct 31 '13 at 16:33

Check these two cases: Are you running an installation program in a different shell? Did you use sudo with the command? – Kamalpreet Oct 31 '13 at 16:24

Run these three commands on the terminal to remove the lock
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
