Question #78671 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78671

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
If your system is a true dual boot system, then you need to mount the
NTFS partition using ntfs-3g

a guide is here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ntfs-3g

You can then make a folder on the ntfs partition and run:

sudo mv /var/cache/apt/archives/lock ~/; sudo mv
/var/cache/apt/archives/partial ~/; ln -s /mount/point/folder
/var/cache/apt/archives; sudo mv ~/lock /var/cache/apt/archives; sudo mv
~/partial /var/cache/apt/archives

obviosly change /mount/point/folder for where you mount the ntfs
partition
