Removing those files fixed the issue.

[Bug 501234] Re: Open SSH installation failed
Thanks for your report. This is very similar to bug 432964. Check that there's a file called /etc/gshadow.lock, and possibly /etc/shadow.lock, /etc/passwd.lock too; if that's the case, remove them (no risk), and retry. The problem might come from a crash while using the guest session: do you remember such a situation? ** Changed in: openssh (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - Open SSH installation failed + Open SSH installation failed : useradd: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later. -- Open SSH installation failed : useradd: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/501234 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
