dpgk lock files after update

Hi,

I recently upgraded from OMV 5 to 6, managed to resolve some minor issues, but I keep getting problems with updates: there's always "Error 500: The package resource is held by another process".

In another thread I found the suggestion to remove the dpkg lock files manually, which I did, but after every update process, it's the same again.

Any suggestions?

OK, to add some more information: The problem is exactly as described here:

OMV6 Error 500 when trying to install plugins

Hi tried to install a couple plugins but getting this message:

500 internal server error the storage area for state information for each package resource is held by another process.
Please try again later

The problematic files are:

/var/lib/dpkg/lock
/var/lib/apt/lists/lock
/var/cache/apt/archives/lock

/var/lib/dpkg lock even reappears after a reboot (deleted the file, rebooted immediately, and it's back).

Does this help anyone help me?

Edit: I tried everything suggested in the thread by jofen; the result remains: I can install updates / plugins from the cl, but not from the web-ui. I presst shift-ctrl-r a dozen of times, rebooted the NAS just as many times. Still no change.

OK, I found the solution here:

RE: 500 internal server error after Update to v6

can you:

sudo omv-aptclean
sudo omv-mkworkbench all
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
sudo folder2ram -syncall
sudo reboot

Then see if you still get it.

Seems like it was the omv-mkworkbench or the folder2ram...

Just in case someone has the same problem later.
