[Bug 2080888] [NEW] LXD fails to start with message: "Required tool 'zpool' is missing"

[Dan Hentschel]

Public bug reported:

After my system was updated from 22.04 LTS to 24.04 LTS, LXD failed to
start with the following message:

t=2024-09-16T15:01:43-0400 lvl=eror msg="Failed to start the daemon"
err="Failed initializing storage pool \"pool1\": Required tool 'zpool'
is missing"

I found a potential solution here:

https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/ubuntu-22-04-lxd-5-0-2-required-
tool-zpool-is-missing-after-apt-upgrade/18791

Entering the following instruction:

sudo snap refresh --channel=5.0/edge

as directed on the referenced web page seems to have fixed the problem.
I'm able to start the LXD daemon now, and all my containers start
correctly. I would have expected this to be properly handled in the
upgrade process.
