Happened to me when aptitude (or presumably any other apt package manager) was interrupted by an accidental X restart. No process shown to be using the file with 'fuser -v /var/cache/debconf/config.dat'. Killing the still running but inactive aptitude and dpkg processes did not work. System reboot fixed the problem.
