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

[Adriano Batista Prieto]

Complementing #8 and #11:


sudo fuser -v /var/cache/debconf/config.dat returned nothing.

So, I made a backup of the files contained in /var/cache/debconf/ and
have deleted all the original files in the same directory. After that,
I've "restored" the backup and the upgrade worked fine.
