I expected the chromium-browser package to simply install, like it has on two other ubuntu NBR machines I have installed it on.
Instead this happened (see attachment).
I also tried this:
$ sudo apt-get install tzdata

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
also checked this:
$ ps -ef | grep dpkg
ubuntu 8190 7113 0 08:07 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto dpkg
$ ps -ef | grep apt
ubuntu 8192 7113 0 08:07 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto apt
so I don't understand what is locking it.
Will restart and see if it helps.
