Marty,
I've split your post to a new thread.
You've asked about this a couple of times before
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/updates/upgrade-error-could-not-get-lock/
https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/updates/upgrade-error-9035/
The message is usually triggered when an update process is already active when a second update process is initiated, for example starting a manual check when an automated background check is already running.
If it is an automated upgrade just waiting is all that is needed.
If you happen to have a package manager open, it will need to be closed before running updates.
