Package: lxc
Version: 0.8.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #683837
[re-posting here, sent yesterday to #687767 by mistake]
Hello,
I noticed this bug still occurs with 0.8.0-1.
I would like to submit the attached patch, which solves the problem in
my case (using LVM rootfs).
It's very similar to the 2 other patches, but uses tar instead of cp,
which should work for dotfiles.
Using rsync would be nicer, but this would add a dependency on the
package.
I hope one or another of these patches will find their way in the
package sooner or later :-)
BTW, thanks for making lxc-debconf, it's excellent !
Cheers,
Marc
