I got the answer from http://rickfoosusa.blogspot.com/2012/04/howto-ubuntu-unknown-user-in.html
When I typed
$ grep 'smmsp' /var/lib/dpkg/statoverride
I got this
root smmsp 2755 /usr/lib/sm.bin/sendmail
So I removed it using sed as follows
$ sudo sed -i '/smmsp/d' /var/lib/dpkg/statoverride
Now $ sudo apt-get upgrade works perfectly.
