The raring nomination can be removed/rejected. The patch that fixes the issue was released in raring circa liblockfile 1.09-5ubuntu1.
** Description changed: I've hit this problem while testing juju charms that use ntp (specifically hbase - bug 800708). The first instance in the first LXC container start OK; however subsequent instances in other LXC containers fail as ntp is installed: root 1157 416 0 14:48 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 49 --configure resolvconf:all openjdk-6-jre-headless:amd root 1313 1 0 14:48 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/libvirtd -d root 1398 1157 0 14:48 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/ntp.postinst configure root 1437 1398 0 14:48 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d ntp start root 1453 1437 0 14:48 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/init.d/ntp start root 1458 1453 0 14:48 ? 00:00:00 lockfile-create /var/lock/ntpdate Running lockfile-create by hand after killing the hanging lockfile- create: ubuntu@jamespage-hendrix-hbase-regioncluster-2:~$ lockfile-create /var/lock/ntpdate *** glibc detected *** lockfile-create: malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x000000000105b0e0 *** [Test Case] Set a hostname of 64 characters (HOST_NAME_MAX is 64) and create a lock file: $ lock=/var/lock/lockfile-create-test $ lockfile-remove $lock $ sudo hostname hostna01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789 $ lockfile-create $lock ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: lxc 0.7.5-3ubuntu30 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-17.26-generic 3.2.6 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-17-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx ApportVersion: 1.93-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Feb 27 14:49:30 2012 SourcePackage: lxc UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + + [Regression Potential] + Minimum.
