I also had this problem, on Kubuntu 10.04, but when I unplugged my HP printer usb cable (printer has an SD card slot for pix), I was then able to run "sudo dpkg –configure -a" and it completed without a hiccup! I personally wonder if that is also why installation from the live cd (both kubuntu and Mint 9 KDE) came to a dead stop when it was trying to install grub. It always stopped at "looking for other operating systems..."
