Config.dat locked and can't update on 18.04

[Dale Trombley]

Searching I tried the following fixes.

fuser -v /car/cache/debconf/config.dat

in order to find user process to kill it but that command hangs and returns
nothing. This seems to be the right fix but isn't working for me

Also found this and also didn't work

sudo touch /var/lib/dpkg/lock
sudo dpkg --configure -a

I'm at a loss for something that might work.
Currently affective errors are
libpam-systemd
tzdata
libssl1.1
openssl
ubuntu-minimal
sane-utils
xserver-xorg-legacy
ubuntu-standard
linux-headers-4.15.0.55-generic
linux-headers-generic
linux-generic

This is my mom's computer and I only get by there once every few days so
please keep the suggestions coming and I'll update once I try em.
