It could be the software updater (not sure what it is called in kubuntu) 
, apt-get or aptitude in the command line, gnome-app-install (add/remove 
programs), update-manager or synaptic if you have those gnome programs 
installed.

If you're sure you don't have any programs doing any kind of 
installation/updating (maybe by rebooting just to be sure, or scanning 
through the output of "ps -aux | less" and killing relevent programs) 
you can remove the lock by running "rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock" in 
the terminal.
