[QUOTE="Rob_the_rich, post: 384338, member: 8419"] Did you try sudo dpkg -r draftsight Else, I found; [B]sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock[/B] Once that is done type: [B]sudo dpkg --configure -a[/B] If that doesn't work try; [B]fuser -v /var/cache/debconf/config.dat[/B] to find the process locking this file. When found kill the process with [B]kill -15 <name of process here>[/B] Should that fail replace [B]-15[/B] (a graceful kill) with [B]-9[/B] (a more aggressive kill). I am a Linux noob still, but I have dual booted Linux and windows in the past, seems my laptop is too old to do it even from usb stick these days. [/QUOTE]
