I did following to solve it (many combination): sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock sudo fuser -v /var/cache/debconf/config.dat sudo kill #check if it has been killed or/and appeared again than kill again.
(For instance: I have been using it many times when I have been upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 quantal due to solve some hang ups of application upgrading (as well apt-get install -f or/and dpkg --configure -a)) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/349469 Title: debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/debconf/+bug/349469/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
