broken files and apt get locked

I was using the KDE apt get program but to the best of my knowledge
shut it down.  Obviously something is not closed as I keep getting
message that another program is using apt get.  What I do not know.  I
just want to be able to close what ever it is. And then replace the
broken files.

If someone will tell me specificly what to enter I am fine doing it at
command line as I need to learn how to use it more.

Thanks
Uriah
