not using for read only lock file

Asked by Hamza Khattak

I installed Ubuntu 15.04 yesterday. When I try to install Chromium Browser via the Terminal, this is the error I get every time.

sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/hamza/2: no such file or directory
W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock
E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened
