- Initial installation via Ubuntu Software Centre resulted in a crashed dpkg 
session, locking it's debconf config.dat.
- Running the Terminal version of sudo apt-get install matlab-support gave me 
that hint.  Even rebooting doesn't help
- Searching Google for the error line in apt-get found someone's fix; basically 
killall dpkg instances, unlock the config.dat and reboot.
- I then ran the Terminal sudo apt-get install matlab-support again.  It 
proceeded to ask me for my install directory, and whether I wanted to rename 
the included C libraries to make them gcc compatible (I said YES).
- Problem Resolved.
