package snmpd 5.4.1~dfsg-12ubuntu7 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

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?

We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future.
To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New".
Thanks again!

Thanks for the information. I am able to resolve that. You can close the
bug.

Thanks
Ramesh Kumar
