For some reason we terminate the installation of package via apt-get
by pressing ctrl+z,it creates a lock file inside /var/lib/dpkg/
and /var/cache/apt/archives/
directories.
And after that if we want to install another or same package via apt-get
,we have to manually remove the lock by running these two commands sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
and sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
so that the installation will occurs.
My question: Is there any way to remove the lock files automatically that was created after pressing ctrl+z,so that we don't need to remove the lock files manually.
