Something else is using apt, make sure no other app, e.g synaptic or the likes are open, close if they are and try again. Also, once you become root there's no need for sudo, so you can just

dpkg -i nomachine_6.11.2_1_amd64.deb

BTW, you might want to use apt instead of dpkg so it takes care of install dependencies too

sudo apt install ./nomachine_6.11.2_1_amd64.deb

or if root

apt install ./nomachine_6.11.2_1_amd64.deb

otherwise you'll have to run apt anyway right after installing nomachine.deb to fix dependencies issues.

sudo apt --fix-broken install

Hope this helps!
