Hi Tuomas, thanks for taking the time to file a bug report.

It looks like your debconf database as locked, possibly by aptdaemon,
while the install/upgrade was going. Please try the install again.

debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by
another process: Resource temporarily unavailable

Previously I've been marking these as invalid, but this seems wrong. We
should probably make update-manager handle this particular failure more
gracefully, even if that is a very hard thing to do.

Assigning to update-manager.

** Package changed: openssh (Ubuntu) => update-manager (Ubuntu)
