Public bug reported:

The command "shutdown -r +5" doesn't work in a xenial lxc container. I
found this out by trying to use Landscape to restart a xenial lxc
container and the operation failed. I was told by the Landscape team
that the restart button simply does a "shutdown -r +5".

The problem seems to be that the dbus package is missing in the xenial
lxc image.

This is what happens:

root@xenialtest:/# shutdown -r +5
Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory
Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory

And if I install dbus:

root@xenialtest:/# shutdown -r +5
Shutdown scheduled for Wed 2016-06-08 19:28:44 UTC, use 'shutdown -c' to cancel.

The issue happens whether I use the download template or the ubuntu
template when creating the LXC container:

root@davecorelaptop:/var/cache/lxc# lxc-create -t ubuntu -n test2
root@davecorelaptop:/var/cache/lxc# lxc-start -d -n test2
root@davecorelaptop:/var/cache/lxc# lxc-attach -n test2

You just created an Ubuntu container (release=xenial, arch=amd64, 
variant=default)

To enable sshd, run: apt-get install openssh-server

For security reason, container images ship without user accounts
and without a root password.

Use lxc-attach or chroot directly into the rootfs to set a root password

I cleared my /var/cache/lxc before doing these 2 tests. The tests were
done around 11:00 AM Eastern time on June 9 2016.

Note that a "shutdown -r now" works properly. The problem happens only
when I specify minutes.

And also note that installing the dbus package also fixes the issue.
