[Bug 1198963] [NEW] Templates don't launch. Multi-arch problem?

[yitzhakbg]

Public bug reported:

Actually, it's not just the templates. Seems the LXC environment isn't setup correctly and I suspect multi-arch.
Raring 13.04 using kernel 3.8.0-26-generic. 
lxc-version 0.9.0 from the daily-builds PPA, but, please note:
I had the same problem under the standard raring edition. I added the daily PPA in the hope that it would help. It didn't!
I purged ia32-libs and ia32-libs-multiarch to no avail.
Does the installation look right?
ybg at bgxtr:~/Media/Mininetry$ find /usr/lib|grep lxc
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lxc
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lxc/__init__.py
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lxc/__pycache__
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lxc/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-33.pyc
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/_lxc-0.1.egg-info
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/_lxc.cpython-33m.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lxc
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lxc/README
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lxc/lxc-init
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblxc.so.0.9.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblxc.so.0

Following are two clean-slate scenarios following a fresh install of lxc and cgroup-lite, after purge of ia32-libs, but again, it behaved the same prior to the ia32-libs purge.
First, ubuntu from template:

sudo lxc-create -n ub -t ubuntu -l DEBUG -o ub.log -- -b ybg
[ log file name should have been ./ub.log instead of ub.log. My fault. Don't know why locale is en_AU ]
