Hi Saurav, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report and help
us make Ubuntu better.

This is the relevant error:


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


This is a temporary problem that can happen if two things are reading or writing to /etc/passwd at the same time. Please try to run


sudo apt-get -f install

To correct the issue and finish configuring packages.

Closing as Invalid.

** Changed in: clamav (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
