https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/lxc.html did provide a workaround: in the section on nesting, it mentioned that enabling nesting allowed all sorts of mounts. So I added
lxc.mount.auto = cgroup lxc.aa_profile = lxc-container-default-with-nesting to the container's config file, restarted the container, and was then able to install the package. So consider this a minor doc enhancement request. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575757 Title: Can't install kernel-nfs-server inside lxc container To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1575757/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
