Hi Saurav, thanks for taking the time to file this bug report and help us make Ubuntu better.
This is the relevant error:
useradd: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later.
This is a temporary problem that can happen if two things are reading or writing to /etc/passwd at the same time. Please try to run
sudo apt-get -f install
To correct the issue and finish configuring packages.
Closing as Invalid.
