Public bug reported:
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release: 16.04
While upgrading from 14.04 lts to 16.04 lts, I got an error (from
/var/log/dist-upgrade/apt-term.log):
Writing passwd-file to /etc/passwd

Writing group-file to /etc/group
Error writing group-entry: Invalid argument
dpkg: error processing package base-passwd (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 4
Errors were encountered while processing:
base-passwd
When I try to install the package manually using "apt-get install base-
passwd":
After this operation, 10.2 kB disk space will be freed.

I apologize ahead of time since I'm new to this. I already tried to search for
this problem but could not find it.
Thank you.
