Thanks for your report.

Have you locked you root account (either with passwd -l or passwd -e)?
If so then this is likely a dup of bug 238755
For the moment a workaround is to run
sudo passwd --unlock root
sudo usermod --lock root

then replay your upgrade.

Changed in landscape-client:
status:	New → Incomplete

Hello Lars,

how did you perform this upgrade? With do-release-upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade?

Hello!

Impressing with the quick responses :)

--My root account is locked.

--I was doing a "update-manager --devel-release"

It's indeed a duplicate of #238755. The adduser call in the postinst script has a --gecos parameter, which triggers the failing chfn program.
