It is held by process 24293 (apt) again and again and again.

I am an absolute n00b with Linux as this is my first experience with it and I would really love to get Calibre to work as I switched to Linux on my old Macbook purely to support the new Kobo Claras that my kids have as I couldn't add books to them with my older Calibre version on MacOS Monteray.

Thanks for any advice.
That can happen because an update or install is already running, or because you didn't prefix the apt command with sudo.
