Ron, the file would have been /var/lib/dpkg/lock

I'm guessing something is going wrong on your system if this
has crept up in another, slightly different way. Either way,
this is a different error, and, therefore, a different bug
so please open a new report if you feel that it is something
wrong with the software.

I notice that you have some PPA's enabled, I wonder if maybe you have
some packages that have damaged your system in some way.
