upgrade to debian 1.3



During the upgrade i saw the following message:

---------------

Setting up libg++27-dev (2.7.2.1-9) ...

Update-menus: Dpkg is locking dpkg status area: forking to background
and wait for /var/lib/dpkg/lock to become unlocked.
Setting up lynx (2.7-2) ...

Configuration file `/etc/lynx.cfg'
 ==> File on system created by you or by a script.
 ==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      Z     : background this process to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.
*** lynx.cfg (Y/I/N/O/Z) [default=N] ? unable to lock dpkg status 
database(/var/lib/dpkg/lock)
This means your system is messed up badly. Aborting.

--------------

Somebody can shed some light on this ?

Regards,

Danny
