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

[Gilbert Rodriguez]

This is what I got after trying to reinstall Virtualbox

Processing was halted because there were too many errors.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
root at lnx_web_server:/etc/init.d# sudo fuser /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
/var/cache/debconf/config.dat: 25862
