This was due to a concurrent access to the debconf database. This is usually a very temporary and not reproducible situation. If you can reproduce it then use the following command to find the culprit: fuser -v /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
I'm closing this report but don't hesitate to reopen if you can reproduce it and provide more information.
