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

[Clint Byrum]

Interesting. So this looks like processes hanging around because they're
waiting for users or other machines/network interaction. We probably
need to handle this failure with a dpkg frontend that shows the user the
current lock holder and gives them the option to break the lock and/or
kill the holder.
