Please try
Code:
sudo gainroot
rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
apt-get update
Please post the errors you are getting here, if any.

@michaaa62
thx for ur response & help... but i think the problem is solved...the lock file in /opt/var/cache/apt/archives/ was deleted by mistake but somehow I found this file in /home/user/MyDocs/apt-archive-cache/ I copied all missing files from this directory to the first directory...so now I'm able to install & uninstall apps from 'ham' or faster application manager :) :)

ps: I tried your codes by x-terminal & that's the result of last 6 lines:


Code:
Hit https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com ./ Packages
Hit https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com ./ Packages
Hit https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com ./ Packages
Hit https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com ./ Packages
Fteched 198B in 1min38s (2B/s)
Reading package lists... Done
so do u think what I did was right ??? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
