I was trying to install playonlinux on ubuntu 15.10 64-bit, so that I could install adobe ps cc. I have already installed wine from the software center, but I got some errors, here I am attaching the snap.

1st snap of the error.

Continuation of snap1.

Talking about the last few lines in second image, "errors were encountered while processing:"

  1. runit
  2. git-daemon-run

These are the errors I get after I try to install any application on ubuntu. How ca I fix this issue?

  • Do you get these errors while installing any application? (also, from time to time is good to run apt-get autoremove)

  • @luchonach Yeah the runit and git-daemon error, I get this everytime. Ad what does apt-get autoremove do?

  • @DneDevil I would be happy to tell you the output of sudo dpkg --configure -a as soon as I switch to Ubuntu, currently I am working on windows.

  • @DnrDevil Yes when I run the command there is an error, it says failed to connect to socket/com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused. Here is the snap of the error: i64.tinypic.com/2iqdl0.png

You cant run dpkg and need to unlock it.

Try using 

sudo apt-get -f install

(This will probably tell you to run dpkg) If not run updates with 

sudo update-manager

If it does run

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock

This will unlock dpkg Next run updates using 

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Then reboot your computer 

sudo reboot

After you have rebooted reopen the terminal and clean old pakages

sudo apt-get autoremove

Hopefully theses steps will also fix 

runit

If not run:

sudo apt-get purge git-daemon-run

Then:

sudo dpkg -r runit
