It crashed during download

[Frans de Jong]

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

I have no idea why it crashed, but this is my first install of Ubuntu 8.10.
I had a few acwardmoments when the installation did not react to my first installation, for instance when I set thelocation on the first screenafter given the location, the program just sat there aqnd only after I closed the window it contiued and completed.
 My installation is from the Ubuntu 8.10 Desktopedition.

ProblemType: Package
Architecture: i386
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.10
ErrorMessage: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
NonfreeKernelModules: ath_hal
Package: flashplugin-nonfree 10.0.12.36ubuntu1
SourcePackage: flashplugin-nonfree
Title: package flashplugin-nonfree 10.0.12.36ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Uname: Linux 2.6.27-7-generic i686

Thanks for your report.

The cause of the failure is
Setting up flashplugin-nonfree (10.0.12.36ubuntu1) ...
debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
dpkg: error processing flashplugin-nonfree (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

2 processes were trying to access the debconf database at the same time. Could you please retry to install flashplugin-nonfree and provide the output of the following command if it's still an issue:
sudo fuser -v /var/cache/debconf/config.dat

Tell us if this helps. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your early reply.
As for a repeated installation, this was not necessary, because after a
later boot up and subsequent request for a download from my newspaper, the
installation program it self continued or repeated its earlier attempt and
now works flawlessly.
So I really have nothing more to report as to say thanks again for your
concern.
Frans de Jong.

Thanks for following up. I'm closing this report due to your last comment. Don't hesitate to submit any new bug.

[Frans de Jong (dejongfrans)]

One last commend.
I have just loaded Ubuntu 8.10 on a Acer Aspire 1570 with great success.
Only Google Earth will not run, because of screen size.
I thought you might want to know.
Thanks, Frans.
