[Bug 349469] Re: debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable

[Leonardo Santagada @ Proge.com.br]

the problem for me appeared to be that software center was open while
installing using the command line apt-get... but I'm not sure it was
really related. I closed it and removed/installed the package again and
it worked.
