something is already using that file... run "lsof | grep /var/cache/debconf/config.dat" to see what process has it open, and deal with it accordingly.

lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/user/.gvfs
Output information may be incomplete.
dpkg-prec 4672 root 4rW REG 8,6 39658 1697827 /var/cache/debconf/config.dat

Thanks Chris and sorry for bothering you, but i'm a newbie.

I don't know what that process does, but I'd presume it's not going to hurt to kill it.

kill -9 4672

and life should continue.

Apart from all the other places you've posted this question, this is oddly similar too. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6882810
