Renaming the lock file didn't fix it.

The "shopt" errors above is probably a different bug. For example, they also occur if you do qvm-run -p anon-whonix ls, where anon-whonix is based on whonix-ws-13.

The shopt errors go away in whonix-ws-14.

I've been running into this too; it is hitting an archlinux template
hard enough to make it impossible to upgrade it using either pacman,
yaourt or powerpill.

The reason is relatively obvious but as the mechanism is not
documented, I can't find it quickly: Someone is using /bin/sh to
execute a bash script (because he forgot that sh is not always an alias
for bash) and shopt is only built into bash). Could you ask wever is
responsible for the Qubes integration to look for the place where he is
explicitly executing something using "sh" for the call (or at least add
that request to the open issue)?

Was anyone able to resolve this issue? I'm trying to update my kernel (to see if that solves the unusable lag I get in my R4 install) and got the same errors.
