Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Please could you paste the output of the following two commands, and set the status back to New when done:

getent passwd root
getent passwd adm

Thanks!

erm. my bad. I missed what was probably the actual error in a console filled w/ error spew from dependencies and such.

ERROR: Config file reqtimeout.conf not properly enabled: /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/reqtimeout.conf is a real file, not touching it

I can probably fix that. Anyway. I guess unrelated. Sorry for the noise
