Problem installing synaptic through terminal.


I have tried to install synaptic through use of the terminal by entering "sudo apt-get install synaptic"
I have tried using "sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a" But I get this message "Setting up man-db (2.6.0.2-2) ...
debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
dpkg: error processing man-db (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
man-db

You can install it by searching in the software-center for synaptic and clicking on Synaptic Package Manager
