Thanks Phil for pointing out that there is some `dpkg-divert` at play (https://git.launchpad.net/livecd-rootfs/tree/live-build/ubuntu- server/hooks/01-unminimize.chroot_early?h=ubuntu/noble).
I think the issue is due to the `dpkg-diversion` being done prior to upgrading the `lxd-installer` package and the diversion is presumably not respected due to confusion between `/usr/sbin/lxd` and `/sbin/lxd`. Here's the reproducer: ``` $ lxc launch ubuntu-minimal-daily:24.04 c1 $ lxc shell c1 root@c1:~# dpkg-divert --add --divert /usr/sbin/lxd.REAL --rename /usr/sbin/lxd Adding 'local diversion of /usr/sbin/lxd to /usr/sbin/lxd.REAL' root@c1:~# ln -s /bin/true /usr/sbin/lxd root@c1:~# ll /sbin/lxd* /usr/sbin/lxd* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 22 14:20 /sbin/lxd -> /bin/true* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 372 Jan 11 16:58 /sbin/lxd.REAL* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 22 14:20 /usr/sbin/lxd -> /bin/true* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 372 Jan 11 16:58 /usr/sbin/lxd.REAL* root@c1:~# sed -i 's/noble-backports/noble-proposed/' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources root@c1:~# apt-get -qq update root@c1:~# apt-get install lxd-installer -t noble-proposed Reading package lists...
