[David McDonough]

Public bug reported:

I was trying to find out why i can see and remove data from Mac CD's and Floppy’s when the same would not show my the DOS disks. 
It was hinted that I bneeded this Lib so I tryed to install it.  
Install libdvd-pkg  It acme back that I needed to run this.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg  When I did this is what came back.
debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable

No further info available.
