[Bug 1792711] [NEW] package shim-signed 1.33.1~16.04.1+13-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: package shim-signed is already installed and configured

[conrad r kressley]

Public bug reported:

i was trying to run apt-get and/or
sudo apt-get install git libcurl4-openssl-dev build-essential libjansson-dev autotools-dev automake

neither would work because of 2 processes still running.
apt
and 
aptd

i ran to view process(s)
ps -A | grep apt

i ran
sudo kill -9 'processnumber'
it looked like it worked but nothing changed as far as i know because because i still could not run apt
i was trying to update nvidia geforce driver to proprietary but ialso tried to change it back
