Public bug reported:
I just noticed this about a week ago when I was leaving Hong Kong after
the ODS. My older containers (e.g. precise, or lucid) are failing to
bring up networking. Checking syslog in the container:
Nov 23 06:39:59 subunit-lucid dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255
port 67 interval 8
Nov 23 06:39:59 subunit-lucid dhclient: 5 bad udp checksums in 5 packets
Nov 23 06:40:07 subunit-lucid dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received.
Nov 23 06:40:07 subunit-lucid dhclient: No working leases in persistent
database - sleeping.
Nov 23 06:44:03 subunit-lucid dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255
port 67 interval 4
Which makes me think that the host lxc bridge no longer does checksum
fixups, which will break older containers. Without networking updating
the containers to do a local fix is uhm, hard - if I'm right there's a
bunch of folk out there scratching their heads and recreating containers
(with appropriate swear words...)
