CPU: Intel Core i5-4460
MEMORY: 16Gb
Kernel: 5.x
That's a slightly unusual message.
Can you tell us the sequence of events leading to this ?
Have you tried re-running the install updates ?

Reading package lists...
E: Failed to get lock on file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock. It is being held by process 1691 (apt-get)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
How fix it?
