Can not uninstall headphones plugin

Hello all,

This is my first time posting here because usually OMV runs really solid, however I am having issues with trying to remove headphones. When I try to do it in the GUI it gives the following message:

Error #4000:
exception 'OMVException' with message 'Failed to execute command 'export LANG=C; apt-get --yes --auto-remove --purge remove openmediavault-headphones 2>&1': E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?' in /usr/share/openmediavault/engined/rpc/pluginmgmt.inc:170
Stack trace:

#3 /usr/sbin/omv-engined(500): OMVRpc::exec('Plugin', 'remove', Array, Array, 1)
#4 {main}

tried some troubleshooting about linux locking files with no luck, any idea what I can do to remove it?

Thanks in advance.

Apt-get is running in background (cron-apt probably), you can wait, reboot or kill the process.

hey subzero79, thanks for your response. I tried to kill the process (rebootting didnt work) but it said the following:

root@raspberrypi:~# sudo killall -9 apt-get
apt-get: no process found
root@raspberrypi:~# dpkg --configure -a
dpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process
root@raspberrypi:~# sudo apt-get remove openmediavault-headphones
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
root@raspberrypi:~#

root@raspberrypi:~# ps ax| grep apt
18518 pts/5 S+ 0:00 grep apt

Should I remove the lock file now?

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

tried to run dpkg --configure -a earlier but it seemed to hang.

quite old I am afraid, maybe 5 years. But yes I am using the flash to memory plugin

Used it for a couple of years and after that it was in a drawer (it was in my old galaxy s2 until I bought a 32gb card for it).

After reboot:
Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' !
root@raspberrypi:~# dpkg --configure -a
Setting up raspberrypi-bootloader (1.20150820-1) ...
No diversion 'diversion of /boot/COPYING.linux by rpikernelhack', none removed.

And then nothing, atleast still waiting for CL prompt to return.

Is it possible to transfer OMV to a new sd card?

i checked dmesg for any io errors, couldnt see anything so I am not sure if its corrupted. Ran grep dpkg to check something and found this:

root@raspberrypi:~# ps ax | grep dpkg

will it help if I kill these and try to configure dpkg again?
