Issues with Ubuntu package names and Toolchain?

I can't get my opkg to work properly.

I have nothing using opkg (this is my development machine), yet I always get

Collected errors:
 * Could not obtain administrative lock

Any ideas?

I notice that
/usr/lib/opkg/lock
does not exist.

Thanks,

-Kevin
