Here are were things go wrong:

  Adding system user `postfix' (UID 116) ...

  Adding new user `postfix' (UID 116) with group `postfix' ...

  useradd: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later.

  adduser: `/usr/sbin/useradd -d /var/spool/postfix -g postfix -s
/bin/false -u 116 postfix' returned error code 1. Exiting.

  dpkg: error processing postfix (--configure):

   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
status 1

Looks very much like the issue which is being tracked in bug #432964.
Feel free to add any additional information to that report. I'll be
marking this report as a duplicate.
