   Thanks.

   It helped me.
   I had this problem on EasyPeasy 1.05 (which is based on Ubuntu 9.04)

   I’m otally new to Ubuntu (but enjoying myself) and am also new to using the Terminal.

   I am using easy peasy 1.5 which I installed on my eee900 just a few days ago.
   I resolved an issue on Skype following advice on the geteasypeasy forum and am now hoping to resolve an issue described exactly as above.

   I have tried entering using the terminal and entering the commands exactly as above (copy and paste) and appear to be stumbling at the first command.

   ian@ian-eee:~$ apt-get clean
   E: Could not open lock file /var/cache/apt/archives/lock – open (13 Permission denied)
   E: Unable to lock the download directory

   Full screenshot (though the rest is probably irrelevant) is as follows and any guidance in simple language) would be appreciated.

   ian@ian-eee:~$ apt-get clean
   E: Could not open lock file /var/cache/apt/archives/lock – open (13 Permission denied)
   E: Unable to lock the download directory
   ian@ian-eee:~$ cd /var/lib/apt
   ian@ian-eee:/var/lib/apt$ mv lists lists.old
   mv: cannot move `lists’ to `lists.old’: Permission denied
   ian@ian-eee:/var/lib/apt$ mkdir -p lists/partial
   ian@ian-eee:/var/lib/apt$ apt-get clean
   E: Could not open lock file /var/cache/apt/archives/lock – open (13 Permission denied)
   E: Unable to lock the download directory
   ian@ian-eee:/var/lib/apt$ apt-get update

   Thanks – with a promise to try harder.

    @ Ian…

    you have to run the commands as root (su root) or with sudo .

    Awesome, thanks. I had this problem on easypeasy 1.5 on a eeepc 900 and this fixed it.

    An explaination of exactly what that sequence of commands did would be helpful.

    thanks!

16. 16 gianpaolo Dec 29th, 2009 at 09:30

    Great! It worked for me too!
    Thanks a lot!

    The easiest thing to try is to switch servers. Synaptic, Settings, Repositories, Download from…, Other, and select another server. Then Reload. Sometimes this happens during an update to the server.

    Thanks.

20. 20 david6 Feb 7th, 2010 at 02:51

    How to fix: (modified, for Ubuntu 9.10)

    sudo apt-get clean
    cd /var/lib/apt
    sudo mv lists lists.old
    sudo mkdir -p lists/partial
    cd ~
    sudo apt-get clean
    sudo apt-get update

    Worked like a charm for me in ubuntu natty

32. 32 Joel Leclerc Aug 29th, 2011 at 21:19

    Thanks! I just had to change the server to the Main server for it to work.

    For new users, remember to give the “sudo su” command ;-)

33. 33 Luis H Barreto Oct 20th, 2011 at 06:15

    Muchas gracias. Funcionó perfectamente.

34. 34 Doru Jan 7th, 2012 at 13:11

    For everyone still getting the same error after this procedure: please make sure that you try the manual way also:

    wget http://repos.zend.com/zend.key -O- |apt-key add -

    this will add the needed key to your lists. Hopefully it will help someone.
