Bug Description

After upgrading from Oneiric to Precise, my lxc's wouldn't start.
It turns out virbr0 wasn't available anymore, and had to be manually started.

As a workaround, to start it do: virsh net-start default

This bug was fixed in the package libvirt - 0.9.7-2ubuntu7

---------------
libvirt (0.9.7-2ubuntu7) precise; urgency=low

  * Fix default network autostart symlink disappearing on upgrade (LP: #901298)
    - debian/libvirt-bin.preinst: note if the symlink exists
    - debian/libvirt-bin.postinst: if symlink existed, OR if we are upgrading
      from one of the broken versions, then recreate the symlink. (Continue
      to create the symlink on new installs.)
  * debian/patches/fix-qemu-1.0.patch: without this patch, libvirt fails
    when trying to parse the version # from qemu 1.0.
