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?

[Patrick Laxton (andy-b-84)]

Yes, that worked perfectly for me :)

(Files /etc/shadow.lock and /etc/passwd.lock were present, so I removed them and ran "sudo apt-get upgrade")
