Something else is using apt. This could happen if you have kpackage open and you try update from the terminal or if you have two terminals trying to access at the same time.
1. Do a ' ps ax ' and see what's running, there may be an apt process that hung up somewhere.
2. Do a ' lsof |grep /var/lib/apt ' and see what's holding the file. Kill the process if necessary.
