Yes. /var/lib/apt/lists/lock and /var/lib/dpkg/lock

Open up a shell, and run

sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock
sudo apt-get -f install

Which will try to finish the installation. Paste any output into
pastebin.ubuntu.com and paste the URL in a reply if it fails.

Else you should then be good to upgrade to 12.04.
