Package: lxc
Version: 0.7.5-13
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
The patch attached will add proxy support for chroot in lxc-debconf. The
consecutive configure steps (like upgrade) will fail in company setups with
internet access by proxies only.
Regards,
Marcus

Subject: [PATCH] lxc-debconf: add proxy support and default LANG for setup via
chroot
when chroot'ing on the commandline, the chroot-environment
inherits the environment variables like ftp_ and http_proxy,
if the container is setup behind a firewall the hosts apt system
knows it's proxies, but when upgrading and running other
chroot commands from lxc-debconf this information is lost
the basic setup with "dpkg-configure -a" does not set a default
language and locale, this results in many warnings when setting
up the container during the package configure step, it's safe to
set the language to "C" for the early steps in the lxc-debconf process
