i then issue a kill command to the pid 13654 (it might be different for you, do not copy n paste just incase something happens)
root@ubuntu:/home/supermorph# kill 13654
it done it,
root@ubuntu:/home/supermorph#
i then proceeded to continue configuring the apps by issuing command, i checked again first though, (to be sure)
root@ubuntu:/home/supermorph# fuser -v /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
root@ubuntu:/home/supermorph# (blank, so it has no locked process now)
then,
root@ubuntu:/home/supermorph# dpkg--configure -a
the way i fix it was doing this....
checked what was using it,
root@ubuntu: /home/supermorp h# fuser -v /var/cache/ debconf/ config. dat
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /var/cache/ debconf/ config. dat:
root 13654 F.... debconf-communi
