My N900 version is 21.2011.38-1.200.I haven't upgeaded to CSSU.

Now on using apt-get update command in x-terminal following message comes up:
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dokg/lock - open (11 Resources temporarily unavailable).

Same message is displayed with 'upgrade' command too.
Can anyone give idea to solve it.

As I have enabled CSSU my results maybe different to yours but did you sudo gainroot before apt-get update?

I'm sorry for not replying soon.

I did use sudo gain-root command before giving apt-get upgrade command.

this error usually means you have the app manager open, or you've just closed it...

the command beforehand can just be 'root' try running these commandfs in order

root
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade -y

if you get the error again, run 'top' and see if there is a process called apt-worker running. it might be apt-worker.real, can't remember off the top of my head. if its there run 'killall apt-worker' then try the apt-get commands again

hopefully it'll work for you but if not let me know

Yes, what he said! 

you may run into a challenge with the "-y" if so, just do not use the -y in the command and then when it gives you the option to approve type the "y" and enter then.

the -y should bypass the question and auto upgrade without question, but i have had issues with it in the past not accepting the command that way.

yes, this worked.

Thank you for the help. I really appreciate it.

Thanks again.
