*****************
When I try to do updates, I get the following:
============ Log ===========
Reading package lists...
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
Also, when I try to install software, I get this error:
Lite Software Error:
- Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
- Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet and try again.
I am connected to the Internet, and the version of LL I'm using isn't scheduled to expire until April of this year.
I would appreciate your help community. Thanks

I rebooted, and I tried installing updates again. I got these error messages:

Hey guys,
Everything is working now. I can't tell you what I did. Maybe it just needed to be rebooted a few times.
Thanks.

Re: Can't Install Updates Or Lite Software - Valtam - 02-06-2021
Try the Package Repair feature in Lite Tweaks, then select a different repository via Software & Updates. Consider moving away from 3.8 support for it will end in less than 2 months (April 1st), then there will be no more updates, regardless
