Sorry for the late reply. My phone got switched off and I was not carrying the charger with me

I've removed the dpkg/lock using the above command and when I tried to reinstall the system-ui-screenlock-nokia, some dependency issues came up. So used the -f option:
apt-get -f install system-ui-screenlock-nokia --reinstall
This gave me some weird errors. Actually I was trying to install the meegoal.deb last day which was unsuccessful (though it created a desktop icon, the app fails to launch when I click it without throwing any error). I could see some dependency issues related to meegoal when I tried to reinstall the system-ui-screenlock-nokia.

Log:
Code:
~ # apt-get -f install system-ui-screenlock-nokia --reinstall

Reading package lists... Done

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.

meegoal: Depends: python-pyside.qtgui but it is not going to be installed

Depends: python-pyside.qtopengl but it is not going to be installed

Depends: python-pyside.qtdeclarative but it is not going to be installed

Depends: python-pyside.phonon but it is not going to be installed

Depends: python-qtmobility.feedback but it is not going to be installed

mp-harmattan-333-pr: Depends: system-ui-screenlock-nokia (= 1.2.30-1+0m7) but 1.3.3-1+0m8 is to be installed

system-ui-screenlock-nokia: Depends: libqt4-dbus (>= 4.7.4~git20120202) but 4.7.4~git20120125-0maemo1+0m7 is to be installed

Depends: libqt4-m20120202) but 4.7.4~git20120125-0maemo1+0m7 is

Depends: libqtcort20120125-0maemo1+0m7 is to be installed

Depends: libqtgui20120125-0maemo1+0m7 is to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install'on).

I don't know why, but I always feel comfortable installing the packages offline
