[Bug 1116974] Re: package man-db 2.6.1-2ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Colin Watson]

Setting up man-db (2.6.1-2ubuntu1) ...
debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
debconf: DbDriver "templatedb": /var/cache/debconf/templates.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
dpkg: error processing man-db (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

This indicates that some other package management program is running;
the remedy is to find it and shut it down.  It doesn't appear to be a
bug in man-db, even though man-db is affected by it.

** Changed in: man-db (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
