| Certain alpha builds of Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04) have a bug in the **update-grub** script that the <code>dpkg</code> command runs leading to an error message saying that **"/var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process"**. This is a known bug and has been fixed, apparently, but my workaround was to copy the **/usr/sbin/update-grub** script from a 7.10 Ubuntu installation into the local **/usr/sbin** directory then re-running the <code>dpkg</code> commands above. It will warn that a directory already exists, but as it was from a failed installation just answer "no" to the prompt. | Certain alpha builds of Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04) have a bug in the **update-grub** script that the ''dpkg'' command runs leading to an error message saying that **"/var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process"**.
