Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

useradd: no se puede bloquear /etc/passwd; inténtelo más tarde.
adduser: `/usr/sbin/useradd -d /nonexistent -g whoopsie -s /bin/false -u 117 whoopsie' devolvió el código de error 1. Saliendo.

This may be related to bug 523896.

yeah is the same situation, solve whit this http://goo.gl/dYkhH

SOLUTION:

Look for /etc/group.lock, /etc/passwd.lock and /etc/shadow.lock files and remove them.

Be careful to only remove the files ending in 'lock' or else you might damage your system.

Thanks a lot. Unfortunately nothing has happened after having removed
those three files. Anything else to be done?
Best, Carsten

Hi Carsten,
I reinstalled everything form scratch and everything worked perfectly. The
issue is just when you upgrade.

try this
sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq whoopsie
Look for /etc/group.lock, /etc/passwd.lock and /etc/shadow.lock files
and remove them.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install whoopsie
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Dear Fernando, sorry, but again no success.
Probably I follow the advice of Francisco and install completely new
without using update...
Thanks a lot for your help!
All best
Carsten
