Update Manager broken?

[eyesonly]

I seem to have the same problem  but get a different result with the
fix.  Any other ideas.

jbs at jbs-ubuntu:~$ gksudo update-manager
warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)
error from apt: '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?'
