Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: python2.6
I have tried to install server applications nfs & postgresql. Both got
the same issue:
useradd: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later.
lsof|grep passwd gave me the following:
python 3007 sneetsher 9u REG 8,1 2015
13316 /etc/passwd
Rebooting the machine, same thing. Kill or Terminating that python
process. Still the same error.
** Affects: python2.6 (Ubuntu)
