Hello,
i am trying to upgrade my aptitude (i mean "sudo aptitude upgrade") ! but i get an error with a resource taken by another process.
i typed ps -e and killed one process ("update-agent" i think), but it was not the one.
i can't remember the command line with grep to identify which process is holding the hand of that file.
the file is /var/lib/dpkg/lock
can i find the one using grep and something ?
thanks.

zgrep
ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)
NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
