[Bug 670032] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[James Page]

It looks like another process was locking /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
during the upgrade.

fuser -v can be used to return the locking process (if any).

Kill it and try performing the upgrade again. Most often, this is only a
transient situation and fuser will return nothing. Simply performing the
update again should solve this issue.
