Rob,
Your problem is due to another process having the
/var/cache/debconf.dat
file in a locked state:
debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked
by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
The original problem reported was due to a syntax error in the
code which is now fixed.
I have never seen this particular problem before so haven't a
clue how to fix it.
Normally if you have a file locked during an apt command it is
due to another apt
process locking it. This could be due to an automated check for
update(e.g. apt update)
command running when you are trying to do a manual command or
from one of the
package managers being left open when you are trying to do a
manual command.
Hope this helps,
Brett "WolfMan" Bogert
