The 'is another process using it' is your clue - your system most likely was checking to see if they were any updates; thus locking the software-changes when you tried to install the package... Alternatively you were doing something in another terminal causing the lock. Regardless once whatever was using it completes; it'll work (hence the 'temporarily unavailable' part of the message)
