After I ran the apt update command and then the apt -y upgrade the response I got is:

"E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)"
"E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?"

Please how can I bypass this and upgrade my installed packages?
