I have the same problem Whatspoppin had, but any command I try I get the same prompt:
E: Could not get lock/var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (35: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
or sometimes that last line is replaces by "Unable to lock the download directory".

I tried everything you suggested, but I still get the same message. I won't copy everything here, but here is a sample of the script:

Apple-TV:~ root# apt-get install org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be upgraded:
org.xbmc.xbmc-atv2
1 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 13 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (35: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the download directory

If anyone has any clue of what I could try, I would really appreciate. Thanks!

I hate to revive this old thread but this is exactly where I'm at too. Does anyone know what I need to do here?

If you have top installed you could see if any other instances of apt-get are running?
