Public bug reported:

After installing an lxc with `sudo lxc-create -n Ubuntu-12.04.5-i386 -t
/usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-ubuntu -- --release precise --mirror
http://richtercloud.de:3142/de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu --arch i386`,
starting the container with `sudo lxc-start -n Ubuntu-12.04.5-i386
--foreground` fails due to the following error:

    lxc-start: conf.c: instanciate_veth: 2817 failed to attach 'vethY1J1I1' to 
the bridge 'lxcbr0' : Operation not permitted
    lxc-start: conf.c: lxc_create_network: 3100 failed to create netdev
    lxc-start: start.c: lxc_spawn: 829 failed to create the network
    lxc-start: start.c: __lxc_start: 1087 failed to spawn 'Ubuntu-12.04.5-i386'
    lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 337 The container failed to start.
    lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 341 Additional information can be obtained by 
setting the --logfile and --logpriority options.

It should be possible to start the container right away after
installation of the apt package and handle eventually necessary setup
tasks (of permissions, etc.) in `debconf`.

Currently it's necessary to comment out all `lxc.network.*` entries in
the container configuration file.
