Recipe to reproduce:
- Launch software-center
- Install a package that requires a debconf prompt eg. krb5-admin-server
- When the debconf prompt pops up don't answer to the question and leave it 
opened
- Launch a terminal
- Install a package that triggers man-db eg ntp
-> man-db failed with "config;dat is locked" error

Affecting to aptdaemon.

** Package changed: man-db (Ubuntu) => aptdaemon (Ubuntu)

package man-db 2.5.7-2 failed to install/upgrade: debconf: DbDriver "config": 
/var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource 
temporarily unavailable while processing triggers for man-db
