Summary	0005618: Locked files
Description	When I get kali, I always get the error message, "Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?" I don't know if it will eventually go away or if it is just locked.
