** Description changed:
- 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.
+ ================================================
+ SRU Justification:
+ 1. Impact: creating precise containers fails
+ 2. Development fix: don't install lxcguest when creating precise containers
+ 3. Stable fix: same as development fix
+ 4. Test case: create a precise container on an oneiric host
+ 5. Regression potential: none
+ ================================================
+ 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

Steps to reproduce:
On an Oneiric host, run:
- 1. sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu -n myguest -f myguest.conf -- -r precise
+ 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.
+ * The container should be successfully created.
What actually happens:
- * Container creation fails with the following console output:
