Troubleshooting the same issue with a user on #ubuntu-virt indicates
that the problem does disappear after a reboot. This seems to confirm
my suspicion that libdevmapper does not load its module when installed.
** Also affects: devmapper (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:
- vmbuilder crashed with device mapper prerequisites not met in create()
+ libdevmapper does not load its kernel modules upon install
** Description changed:
+ libdevmapper needs a reboot after being installed for its modules to get
+ loaded, causing the following problem until a reboot does occur. Would
+ it be possible to have it insmod its module in postinst?
