debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
If you are getting this error, it means that there is another process running that is locking the file (it can’t be accessed by multiple processes at once). To check which process is using it, run:
sudo fuser -v /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
That should print some info about the process, including its PID. You can stop that process by running sudo kill PID if you think it’s stuck, or simply waiting a few minutes to see if it finishes.
