Apt-get no longer works

[Usama Akkad]

Just tried the command now:

sudo apt-get update
[sudo] password for user:
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource
temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource
temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is
another process using it?

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource
temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is
another process using it?

I'm not running any software that is using dpkg and it's not in ps aux
output
