To be honest, I don't see how this exact failure is LXC related? The post script of ubuntu-keyring fails and thus the creation of the container fails. Pretty normal IMHO. Or does it work fine outside LXC? Can you reproduce the issue with `-r xenial`? It seems the Ubuntu template tries to bootstrap outdated Precise by default [1].
