I have a large transaction that appears to have been abandoned by the network, no confirmations in 5 hours. I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 and when I try to get the dependencies I get these error messages:

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

I've already used the sudo command.

I can't wait a week because the transaction is to a temporary deposit address to CampBX that expires in 1 day, 9 hours. Any ideas? Any other ways to remedy this?
