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

It would appear that another process had locked /var/cache/debconf/config.dat when you tried to upgrade your system.

fuser -v /var/cache/debconf/config.dat will return the locking process if any - try killing it and try performing the upgrade again.

Most often, this is only a transient situation and fuser will return nothing. Simply performing the update again should solve this issue.

Please mark this bug report as 'Invalid' if this resolved your issue.

Thanks

fuser displayed nothing, so I tried |"sudo apt-get update && sudo
apt-get upgrade" with the same result.

James, I hope you get this because I can't log on to reply to you. I've
only used Lauchpad when there was a bug. Logged on with email and
pswd; however it appears not to work in response to a thread.

The problem remains the same. Can't upgrade.

Thanks
