E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?

How did you try to update? Using the update widget or via terminal?  Were synaptic or gdebi running at the time this happened? The error message is quite clear: some other process was using sudo/apt and that's why you couldn't update your system. Try again and make sure nothing is using sudo/apt.

Hope this helps! :) 
Without each others help there ain't no hope for us :)
