Hi

Just had a look at the output from 

sudo apt-get update

What I'm finding suggests a proxy though I don't have one active to my 
knowledge

Failed to fetch 
http://www.getautomatix.com/apt/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  
Could not resolve 'proxyaddress'

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?

Those are some of the lines
