An insert/update/delete violated a foreign key in SQLite (with PRAGMA foreign_keys=ON).

Your user (or the service user) lacks read/write/execute permission on a file, directory or one of its parents.
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend — is another process using it?

You tried to overwrite an executable that is currently running, or run one that is still open for writing.
