The following phrase in your posted question is another process using it?
is probably a good hint at the actual problem.
Your described problem is most likely caused by another apt-get or dpkg instance, which can for example happen if you're upgrading packages in one terminal and at the same time execute apt-get update in another.
@Feldspar15523 basically answered this one already.
