On using this command sudo dpkg --configure -a this is the output I receive.

Setting up libpam-systemd:amd64 (229-4ubuntu17) ...
debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
dpkg: error processing package libpam-systemd:amd64 (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libpam-systemd:amd64

Please help resolve this I am not able to install anything new using apt-get.

try sudo rm /var/cache/debconf/*.dat it will rebuild the .dat files when you run apt-get again.
