For installing cairo-dock on your system you no more need any extra repository source, because current stable versions are available in the standard Ubuntu repositories.
sudo apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins
should be enough.

Ok, there are still some minor weaknesses in your sources.list, but now it should work.
Try again
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins
and copy/paste all output as done before.

Apparently there currently is another package management process running.
Make sure that update-manager, synaptic package management and similar programs all are closed, and that you do not have apt-get or dpkg running in another terminal window.
Then try again
sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins

It has finally installed with no errors. What remains is to launch the dock now. Thanks for the assistance.
