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

[Mike Miller]

Wow, this has been around for quite sometime and to still be affecting
an LTS release is interesting.  Bump +1 happened when I was trying to
install gnome-system-tools and most of the packs recommended by apt to
go along with it and got this error several times during installation
and application of changes after downloads.
