** Description changed:
A container with an IPv6 address in its configuration (for example,
'lxc.network.ipv6 = 2001:db8:fedc:abcd::2/80') fails to start with the
error below.
lxc-start 1377083732.942 ERROR lxc_confile - No such file or
directory - invalid ipv6 address: 2001:db8:fedc:abcd::2/80
This IPv6 address is valid, however, and the same configuration works
fine on 12.04.
Ubuntu Release: Ubuntu 13.04
lxc package version: 0.9.0-0ubuntu3.4
+
+ SRU justification
+ 1. impact: container configurations specifying an ipv6 address with a mask
fail to start
+ 2. Development fix: remove the mask from ipv6 address before passing it to
inet_pton
+ 3. Stable fix: same as development fix
+ 4. test case:
+ sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu -n x1
+ Echo "lxc.network.ipv6 = 2001:db8:fedc:abcd::2/80" | sudo tee -a
/var/lib/lxc/x1/config
+ sudo lxc-start -n x1
+ 5. Regression potential: none, we are simply passing the correct buffer to
inet_pton.
