[Bug 637987] Re: package openssh-server (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Mathias Gug]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

According to the log file:
Unpacking openssh-server (from .../openssh-server_1%3a5.3p1-3ubuntu4_i386.deb) ...

debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by
another process: Resource temporarily unavailable

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/openssh-
server_1%3a5.3p1-3ubuntu4_i386.deb (--unpack):

 subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

Was there another package manager running when openssh-server was
installed?
