I encountered this bug today. For me, the problem was the /var/lib/secrets.tdb file. It appears that a portion of the file was clobbered by some log messages:

It's primarily a binary file, so I was surprised to discover this. After (re)moving the file, everything was peachy. Perhaps some output in a script is being redirected improperly somewhere?
