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

[David Roberts]

I hit this issue during a 12.04 to 14.04 distribution upgrade. SInce it
forces package installation to continue even when it encounters errors,
I was left with a decent chunk of the system unconfigured (which I had
to fix manually afterwards).
