[Bug 673885] Re: package openssh-server 1:5.3p1-3ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

[James Page]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

It appears that during the installation process, another process had
locked /var/cache/debconf/config.dat. fuser -v will 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.

Please update this bug report if this resolves your issue.

Thanks
