Jitsi Marketplace App initial config script fails.

[Peeeet]

I created a new droplet from the Marketplace page and then connected to it via SSH and typed bash /var/complete-jitsi-setup.sh just like the MOTD says and it failed saying:

It might just be that you need to preface the command with sudo, so I added a PR with just that: #166

This happened to me too; I suspect it's because on first-boot the droplet does some automatic updates (i.e. unattended-upgr pid 8493). My error was It is held by process 9233 (apt-get), and apt-get sure was running:

# ps -ef |grep apt-get
root        9233    9221  6 02:42 ?        00:00:01 apt-get -qq --fix-missing install -y droplet-agent droplet-agent-keyring

I gave it a couple of minutes to finish, and then complete-jitsi-setup.sh worked just fine. The shell script should probably check for this and wait instead of failing like this.
