Public bug reported: The lxc-create command fails when using the ubuntu template to install a Precise guest on an Oneiric host. This is because the template tries to install the lxcguest package in the Precise container, but that package is no longer present in Precise.
Steps to reproduce: On an Oneiric host, run: 1. sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu -n myguest -f myguest.conf -- -r precise -a i386 What is supposed to happen: * The container should be successfully created. What actually happens: * Container creation fails with the following console output: {{{ ... Building dependency tree... Package lxcguest is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'lxcguest' has no installation candidate failed to execute template 'ubuntu' $ }}} ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: lxc 0.7.5-0ubuntu8.5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-16.29-generic 3.0.20 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-16-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Mar 26 12:20:27 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Beta amd64 (20110915.1) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_CA:en PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: lxc UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: lxc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug oneiric running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/965476 Title: Can't install Precise guest on Oneiric host To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/965476/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
