Hi DigitalOcean,
I was trying to do an apt install and got the following error repeated over ad over.
“It is held by process 1 Waiting for cache lock: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend.”
I googled it, and was told that an update was probably taking place. I’ve waited and tried again several times. Do I just need to wait longer? Or does DigitalOcean for some reason not like tmux installations?
Thank you for your time norm
