Good morning.
REF: "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process:
System: 64bit Ubuntu 12.04.
Apart from:
Please tell me what's going on and how shall I fix it?
Some additional questions:
Why does the list above refer to i386 in places?
and
Why does grub still report an old kernel (Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.38-8-generic) but I cannot find this kernel in Synaptic?
The 3 extracts below are a bit long but I hope it is of help.

A little History.
Upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 but this left me with a problem in Grub, it had failed to see anything Linux. By booting into a live cd and downloading Grub repair I was able to restore Grub and get things going again. The os-prober does not see the Windows 7 recovery partition. I suspect that Grub is still not correct. Other than an inability to update correctly Ubuntu seems to run fine.
