Been toying with ubuntu the last few days (wubi is teh secks).
Second or third time I've tried it already.

Unfortunately, I have horrible apt usage habits, and I simply ctrl-z halfway through downloads. Naturally, apt/dpkg doesn't release the lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock). So, I usually delete the lock (rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock), and aptitude works again.

Unfortunately, me being the linux newbie cum careless one, I type sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg. Try installing, gives me shit load of errors. Scroll up, see the last comment, and I go "oh shit."

So, I'm locked out of aptitude right now,with no idea how to fix it. I'm considering simply deleting ubuntu or reinstalling again. Damn.
