Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/) is another process using it?

This should be used as last resort. If you use this carelessly you can end up with a broken system. Please try the other answers before doing this.

You can delete the lock file with the following command:

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock

You may also need to delete the lock file in the cache directory

sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock

After that, try opening Synaptic again.
