[Bug 821630] Re: debconf fails with "frontend: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0."

[Raphaël Hertzog]

The problem is that debconf's graphical interface fails to run due to
"Fatal IO error 11". I don't know what can cause this and it would be
nice if debconf had some sort of automatic fallback to non-interactive
instead of just failing. Thus reassigning to debconf.

Checking for services that may need to be restarted...Checking init
scripts...

WARNING: init script for samba not found.

frontend: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X
server :0.0.

dpkg: error processing libpam0g (--configure):

 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
