** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu Precise)
Status: New => In Progress
** Description changed:
The template lxc-ubuntu uses a dpkg configuration file to enable a
foreign architecture when qemu-*-static is installed.
Starting from 1.16.2 dpkg added new dpkg --add-architecture and
--remove-architecture commands to track supported architectures.
The configauration file /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/lxc-multiarch shouldn't be
use anymore and replaced by dpkg --add-architecture $hostarch

UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to quantal on 2012-01-31 (146 days ago)
lxcsyslog:
+
+ [rational]
+ Starting with quantal, setting up multiarch needs to be done using dpkg
--add-architecture instead of writing configuration files in /etc/dpkg/.
+ The current lxc ubuntu template in 12.04 supports quantal but won't be able
to build an armhf container unless this change is applied.
+
+ [test case]
+ 1) lxc-create -t ubuntu -n p1 -- -r quantal -a armhf
+
+ 1) should succeed, prior to that fix, it'd fail with dpkg errors.
+
+ [regression potential]
+ The area of the code being touched is specific to building containers of a
foreign architecture, so the worst that can happen is breakage for anyone
building arm/powerpc containers on x86. The change checks the dpkg version of
the container, so in theory, there's no risk of change for containers < quantal.
