Hi all,
Thank you for raspbian!
I have a running pihole on a raspberry pi: When I do an automated `sudo apt update` I get an error about not being able to get lock file
```
error listing available updates: error running command [/usr/bin/apt-get update]: exit status 100
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock. It is held by process 1432 (packagekitd)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists
```
What I have changed:
when I remove the lock files manually, then the next update fails again - process has new PID - lockfile is present again
