It would be entirely unhelpful if dpkg checked the debconf lock; you'd just get much the same failure slightly further up.
Maybe apt could check, but I think this might be more realistic for something that's intended to be much smarter, such as update-manager, so reassigning there. However, note that it is not actually possible to check this correctly outside debconf right now, as debconf does not necessarily use the same database in all installations. I recommend not fixing this in haste. ** Package changed: dpkg (Ubuntu) => update-manager (Ubuntu) -- debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/349469 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
