Hi,
I'm installing Wine with the command line on Mint 13 Maya Mate.
Several files downloaded then a window opened with the title “Configuring ttf-mscorefonts-installer” and the END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR MICROSOFT SOFTWARE.
At the end of the window there's an <OK> but whatever I try I cannot close it.
Any suggestion please?
Thanks.

Hi Rayeta76,
When opening Synaptic Package Manager, I get the following message:
“Unable to get exclusive lock.
This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) is already running. Please close that application first.”
I closed the terminal, so I don't know what else is running.
The Software Manager hasn't been working for ages.
Is there a way to check with the command line which applications are running or what's wrong with Synaptic?

but no work command up, using the command down

Once these commands should work and the synaptic.
If after working commands no wonk the synaptic, please paste your sources.list, for read use this command:
Sorry for my bad English.

Hi Rayeta76,
I'm afraid I've messed up things even further: I followed both your instructions and those at
http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/482 to fix packages with aptitude. Then I got the Microsoft Windows licence agreement message coming out again. Only afterwards I read that “please note that it is bad practice to use aptitude and apt-get interchangeably, as they record separately the changes made by a user.” It still says there are many broken packages but I don't seem to be able to fix them.
