[Bug 786455] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: il sottoprocesso nuovo script pre-installation ha restituito lo stato di errore 1

[James Page]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

It would appear that something has left lock files on /etc/passwd (and
probably /etc/shadow as well).

Please  can you remove /etc/passwd.lock and /etc/shadow.lock if they are
present and try to complete the installation using the following
command:

  sudo apt-get -f install

Please update this bug report if this resolves your issue.

Thanks
