Bug Description

I have a local apt-cacher-ng mirror which I also put in /etc/default/lxc as the MIRROR to speed up container creation. However, when I create arm containers, lxc-create always fails with:

I: Running command: debootstrap --arch armhf --foreign --verbose --components=main,universe --include=vim,ssh precise /var/cache/lxc/precise/partial-armhf http://10.42.43.1:3142/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

until I unset the MIRROR variable.

Perhaps this would be better fixed by switching to a 'proxy' variable (and then respecting what is in /etc/apt/ for the proxy). Or, the ubuntu template should ignore the MIRROR variable for arm containers, as they need to puse ports.ubuntu.com.

This bug was fixed in the package lxc - 1.0.0~alpha1-0ubuntu2

---------------
lxc (1.0.0~alpha1-0ubuntu2) saucy; urgency=low

  * Add allow-stderr to autopkgtst restrictions as the Ubuntu template
    uses policy-rc.d to disable some daemons and that causes a message to
    be printed on stderr when the service tries to start.
