>From the dpkg-terminal log:

Unpacking mysql-server-5.1 (from .../mysql-server-5.1_5.1.41-3ubuntu12_i386.deb) ...

debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
dpkg: error while cleaning up:

I'm not sure what's causing it to think it's already locked.
