apt-get upgrade = Lock 'pluto.conf' (Config_Ops-ConfEval) stale... etc..

Hi,
I've tried to do an apt-get upgrade on the core after it had been turned off for 2 weeks and got the following:

=================================================================

Have since narrowed it down to:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/pluto-orbiter.postinst configure
Which returned the locking fault listed above.

Closer inspection shows most of the symlinks in /usr/pluto/locks/ dont point to valid files..??
I've looked around and tried editing the scripts, but it still fails.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Has no one had this issue? i've got this issue with my test 1004 install aswell:
For some reason the lock files in  /usr/pluto/locks/ dont point to the correct (I'm assuming) PID files or for some reason they dont get created in the /proc dir. Atleast I think thats why the script fails.
The core is a 810 build, and it's also stopping other programs from install installing aswell:
