Title:
  Can't install anything, also do-release-upgrade does not work

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I think, in an openVz container kernel, kernel modules, boot loader,
  direct device access and similar stuff is both pointless and not
  needed, because these are all handled by the hardware node.

  Problem is, dpkg wants to install linux-image, initramfs-tools,
  initscripts and also would like to write /lib/modules, which is not
  writeable for OSes in an openVz container.

  How can I tell it to:
  - completely ignore these packages
  - never try to write to /lib/modules or if it tryes it should not fail because of it

  Here are some outputs:
