Title:
  package shim-signed 1.33.1~16.04.1+13-0ubuntu2 failed to
  install/upgrade: package shim-signed is already installed and
  configured

Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  i was trying to run apt-get and/or
  sudo apt-get install git libcurl4-openssl-dev build-essential libjansson-dev autotools-dev automake

  neither would work because of 2 processes still running.
  apt
  and 
  aptd

  i ran to view process(s)
  ps -A | grep apt

  i ran
  sudo kill -9 'processnumber'
  it looked like it worked but nothing changed as far as i know because because i still could not run apt
  i was trying to update nvidia geforce driver to proprietary but ialso tried to change it back
