distro is lenny and packages in question are screen; clamav,
nethack-console and nethack-common. I spent quite alot of time trying to
install these with no luck. The post-install scripts for whatever reason
all couldn't get locks. Other than the accounts that were open on this
machine no other process was running to prevent this. dpkg did much
useless looping attempting in vain to clear these errors too.
