[Bug 942862] Re: lxc-create failure creating a lucid container in a precise host with old cache
This bug was fixed in the package lxc - 0.7.5-3ubuntu67 --- lxc (0.7.5-3ubuntu67) precise-proposed; urgency=low * Don't directly write/remove /etc/dnsmasq.d/lxc as that's causing problems when removing and reinstalling lxc. Instead have dnsmasq ship /etc/dnsmasq.d-available/lxc and create/remove a symlink in /etc/dnsmasq.d/. (LP: #1113821) * Bump debhelper dependency and add Pre-Depends on newer dpkg for above fix. * Allow the container to mount efivars on /sys/firmware/efi/efivars. efivars is automatically mounted by mountall on UEFI systems, failure to do so leads to a complete boot failure. (LP: #1117589) * 0221-make-nonflush-upgrades-robust: be more robust about out of date container caches. (LP: #942862) * 0207-ubuntu-cloud-fixes.patch: cleanups to lxc-ubuntu-cloud.in fix for quantal images that do not have user 'ubuntu' present (LP: #1045955) * 0301-debian-copy-config: Pass all the arguments to copy_configuration.

[Bug 942862] Re: lxc-create failure creating a lucid container in a precise host with old cache
** Description changed: - When running - lxc-create -t ubuntu -n u1-server -f /etc/lxc/local.conf -- -r lucid -a i386 -b matiasb + == Rationale == + On apt failure, LXC simply fails without telling the user that they may have an old cache and should just rebuild it. + This confuses some users who had some pretty old lucid cache on their system with out of date apt lists. + + The fix includes a better error message on failure and calls apt-get + update before trying to install anything. + + == Test case == + 1) Use a machine with a very old lucid cache (or manually break the apt lists) + 2) lxc-create -t ubuntu -n p1 -- --release lucid + 3) Check that it a) works or b) shows an error message telling you to wipe the cache + + == Regression potential == + It's just an extra apt-get update and a better error message so I don't expect any regression here. Worst case scenario, the user will just get the error message and have to wipe the cache. + + + When running + lxc-create -t ubuntu -n u1-server -f /etc/lxc/local.conf -- -r lucid -a i386 -b matiasb It downloads lucid packages, extracts packages, and then fails while installing: ...
