Stephane, Juju doesn't decide what images to use directly. It uses ubuntu-cloudimg-query for that. So this utility will need to be changed. It is in the cloud-image-utils package.

The underlying error appears to be: tar --numeric-owner -xpJf /var/cache/lxc/cloud-trusty/ubuntu-14.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.gz; xz: (stdin): File format not recognized; tar: Child returned status 1; tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now; This seems to be fairly obvious, trying to use xz on a tar.gz file is never going to work. The change appears to be from https://github.com/lxc/lxc/commit/27c278a76931bfc4660caa85d1942ca91c86e0bf, it assumes everything passed into it will be a .tar.xz file. This appears to be a conflict between the template expecting a .tar.xz file, and juju providing it a .tar.gz file. You can see what juju is providing from: $ ubuntu-cloudimg-query trusty released amd64 --format %{url} https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/server/releases/trusty/release-20151105/ubuntu-14.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.tar.gz From the juju deployed host: $ apt-cache policy lxc-templates lxc-templates: Installed: 1.0.8-0ubuntu0.1 Candidate: 1.0.8-0ubuntu0.1 Version table: *** 1.0.8-0ubuntu0.1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-proposed/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status From the host running juju: $ apt-cache policy juju-core juju-core: Installed: 1.22.8-0ubuntu1~14.04.1 Candidate: 1.25.0-0ubuntu1~14.04.1~juju1 Version table: 1.25.0-0ubuntu1~14.04.1~juju1 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/juju/proposed/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages *** 1.22.8-0ubuntu1~14.04.1 0 400 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-proposed/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status All machine involved are running trusty: $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS Release: 14.04 Please let me know if you need any more information.
