I am marking this as Invalid, as in the latest releases of Ubuntu (Oneiric and Precise) when closing the Software sources dialog, it does not request reloading, thus it will not have any problems if there is a lock. I have tried by opening Synaptic (to create the lock) and software sources from Software center, and I have successfully edited the sources list, and closed the dialog without any complaints about the lock. Feel free to reopen if you still experience this problem, and please detail the steps you used to reproduce the issue. --- Ubuntu Bug Squad volunteer triager http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad
