The solution for "Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open"

    In Linux, you always wanna to use command: sudo apt-get update to update source list.
    But if one of terminal doesn't finish updating, and then you execute another same command : sudo apt-get update,
it will has the error message like the following :
Error output:
    alicus@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get update
    E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
    E: Unable to lock the list directory

The solution is :    
    Open a new  terminal console, execute command like this : sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock ( it is that has been locked ).
    
    After that, you are allowed to execute sudo apt-get update again.

    Good luck to you !
