Dpkg frontend lock

[toto6976]

Good morning

I have DietPi v9.7.1 : 07:41 - Tue 08/27/24 on raspberry pi 3 + pizigate.

I am installing ‘home-assistant-supervised’. Everything was working fine untill installing udisks2 package. Now, i have this :
$ sudo apt update && apt upgrade

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?

Should i do a ‘sudo apt --fix-broken install’ to fix the problem ???

sudo apt update && apt upgrade

sudo apt update && apt upgrade
Incorrect

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Two commands on original post…sudo apt update…but not sudo on apt upgrade…can’t upgrade unless you sudo…2nd entry will work
