Any software update process (like a manual update, a background update or running a package manager) requires exclusive access to update resources and will lock them while running to prevent another update process starting. If one update process has locked the resources and a second one tries to start, the second will not be able to get the resource and will generate a message like this.
Usually all that is needed is to wait until the first process completes and releases the resource. If the second attempt to update/upgrade worked then all is well.
If the problem did not self-resolve it is possible that something (like an interrupted update) may have broken the mechanism and more investigation would have been required to clear the lock.
