you must input:
The / before home is missing in your command...Code:dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/hss.deb
I'll look thru' for the second error now...
For your second error can you try as root in terminal:
Do a reboot then apt-get update in terminal as root...Code:rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
The second error unfortunately wasn't solved yet.
[CODE]rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/lock[/CODE
didnt do anything. at least the device didnt show anything when I used that command. rebooting and using apt-get update resulted in the same error as before (no such file or directory - unable to lock the list directory) :/

Just to add: even when I try to uninstall applications, an error telling me "installation failed, installation interruped" occurs.

/var/lib/apt/lists/lock is simply a blank file... Maybe see if its present then delete it and create a new blank file with the same name and try...

Just checked via Filebox, the folder "lists" doesnt even exist, but instead there is a folder named "lists.old". In "lists.old" I can find a file named "lock".
When I try to copy the folder via Filebox and rename it to lists it says permission denied. Cant rename "lists.old" to "lists" either. As far as I know I can only access Mass Storage via Computer, so I'm a bit clueless how to remove/create a new file in that kind of root directory.

I just googled this problem some more and I found in some Ubuntu wiki a "solution" to this problem. It says to manually create the lock data and the directory with the following commands...
sudo mkdir -p /var/cache/apt/archives
sudo touch /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
should I try this? or am I going to damage something?
sudo mkdir -p /var/cache/apt/archives
sudo touch /var/cache/apt/archives/lock

Sorry, I was out hence couldn't reply...
What you can do from terminal as root is:
mkdir -p /var/cache/apt/archives
touch /var/cache/apt/archives/lock

I'm getting
touch: var/cache/apt/archives/lock: No such file or directory
seems that "lock" file is missing everywhere
