I got this error on Ubuntu 14.04 after the "Add printer driver"-thingie crashed while trying to add openprinting-gutenprint.
I tried many things including the suggestions here but the solution was to sudo apt-get install openprinting-gutenprint --reinstall The problem was that the program was half-installed so apt-get install and apt-get remove both failed. So did apt-get upgrade. I found my solution here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/245477/half-installed- package-error -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to debconf in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/349469 Title: debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable Status in Ambasa Operating System: New Status in Debconf: New Status in aptdaemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in debconf package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Upgrading packages that use debconf sometimes fail with the following error: debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ambasa/+bug/349469/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
