[Bug 813929] Re: package festival 1.96~beta-10ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Andreas Moog]

This is the error:

Setting up festival (1.96~beta-10ubuntu1) ...
useradd: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later.
adduser: `/usr/sbin/useradd -d /home/festival -g audio -s /bin/false -u 118 festival' returned error code 1. Exiting.
dpkg: error processing festival (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Remove the /etc/passwd lockfile and all is well. Since this is not a bug
but a problem on your system, converting to question.
