[Bug 702714] Re: package exim4-base 4.71-3ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new post-removal script returned error exit status 1

[James Page]

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

Please try using fuser -v to return the process locking process
/var/cache/debconf/config.dat (if any). Kill the offending process and
try performing the install again.

More often than not this is only a transient situation and fuser will
return nothing. Simply performing the update again should solve this
issue.

Please update this bug report if this resolves your issue.

Thanks
