[Bug 537099] Re: package postfix 2.6.5-3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

Thanks for your report.
This is very similar to bug 432964. Check that there's a file called /etc/gshadow.lock, and possibly /etc/shadow.lock, /etc/passwd.lock too; if that's the case, remove them (no risk), and retry. The problem might come from a crash while using the guest session: do you remember such a situation?

** Changed in: postfix (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
