Hi Stephen Thanks for taking the time to report this bug in Ubuntu.
Looks like something has left some .lock files in place on the files used for user management. This does happen from time-to-time. Have a look in /etc/ for any files ending in *.lock and remove them if they are present - the following should be safe to remove: passwd.lock shadow.lock group.lock Thanks -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991354 Title: package ntp 1:4.2.6.p3+dfsg-1ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/991354/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
