[Bug 734113] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

[James Page]

OK well that moved us forward; but it looks like something had also left
a .lock file on /etc/shadow.

Please can you repeat the process but for /etc/shadow.lock - might also
be worth looking to see if there are any other .lock files present in
the /etc/ directory.

Thanks
