[Bug 965476] [NEW] Can't install Precise guest on Oneiric host

[Māris Fogels]

Public bug reported:

The lxc-create command fails when using the ubuntu template to install a
Precise guest on an Oneiric host.  This is because the template tries to
install the lxcguest package in the Precise container, but that package
is no longer present in Precise.

Steps to reproduce:

On an Oneiric host, run:

 1.  sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu -n myguest -f myguest.conf -- -r precise
-a i386

What is supposed to happen:

 * The container should be successfully created.

What actually happens:

 * Container creation fails with the following console output:

{{{
...
Building dependency tree...
Package lxcguest is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'lxcguest' has no installation candidate
failed to execute template 'ubuntu'
