Thanks.

Sounds like /etc/apt/sources.list is not being set right.

James,

I assume this is on precise?

Hello James, or anyone else affected,

Accepted lxc into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Hi Serge - yes, this was on a precise host.

Confirmed that lxc 0.7.5-3ubuntu56 from precise-proposed/universe now allows me to create, start and stop an armhf container.

Thanks for the quick turn-around!

This bug was fixed in the package lxc - 0.7.5-3ubuntu56

---------------
lxc (0.7.5-3ubuntu56) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * Fix Ubuntu template to install the host architecture of the required
    mutli-arch packages (when using qemu-user-static) instead of hardcoded
    "amd64" version. (LP: #999187)

lxc (0.7.5-3ubuntu55) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * 0082-umount-old-proc: fix proc auto-mount. If /proc is already mounted,
    make sure that /proc/self points to 1, since we are container init.
    Otherwise, assume proc is an old one, and umount it and remount our own.
    If we keep the old proc mounted, apparmor transitions will by tried for
    wrong task and fail. Also move check for whether apparmor is enabled so
    that it is called by lxc-execute. (LP: #993706)
  * debian/control: add cloud-utils to lxc Recommends, as lxc-ubuntu-cloud
    needs it. (LP: #995361)
  * debian/lxc.upstart: load apparmor profiles before auto-starting containers.
    (LP: #989853)
  * debian/control: add apparmor to lxc Depends (LP: #997681)
  * debian/local/lxc-start-ephemeral: quote $line so its contents don't get
    expanded (LP: #997687)
