Thank you for your report.
This looks like a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in
Ubuntu, so I'm marking this bug as Invalid.
Specifically, it looks like you have a /etc/passwd.lock lockfile left
over from a previous problem.
You can find pointers to get help for this sort of problem here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community
If you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful
to read How to report bugs effectively
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful
if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem,
explain why you believe this is a bug rather than a problem specific to
your system, and then change the bug status back to New.
** Changed in: vsftpd (Ubuntu)
Status: New = Invalid
