[Bug 708292] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.9 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1

[James Page]

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

This is normally a transient situation - simply performing the update
again should resolve this issue.

You can see if anything is still locking this file by running the
following command:

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

If this returns a locking process, kill it and try performing the update
again.

Please update this bug report if this resolved your issue.

Thanks
