package php5-cli 5.2.6.dfsg.1-3ubuntu4.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Binary package hint: php5

When trying to install the php-PEAR package as well as php5-cli an error was returned. Ubuntu Jaunty is the OS currently being used. Synaptic Package Manager version is 0.62.5 I expected package to install, and it did not. I've had this problem before but believe it's a simple problem. Will post if solved in the future.

Not a PHP5 bug. Relevant error:

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

dpkg: error processing php5-cli (--configure):
