[Bug 526389] Re: package exim4-config 4.69-11ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: useradd: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later.

Chuck,

I'm not a techo-savvy person, so I probably can't answer any questions more
technical than, "Did you turn-on the power?"  At any rate, I think the
problem was resolved recently when I upgraded to an even later version of
Ubuntu recently.
