** Description changed:

- I just upgraded to ubuntu saucy and found a strange behaviour. The
- command lxc-ls doesn't show the correct status of running machines.
+ =========================
+ SRU Justification:
+ 1. Impact: standard lxc-tools do not work (transparently) with autostarted containers.  Importantely, a duplicate container can be started.
+ 2. Development fix: make sure to start containers (in lxc-instance) such that their command sockets are not in an "anonymous" lxcpath.
+ 3. Stable fix: same as development fix.
+ 4. Test case:  Create an autostart container;  start it with lxc-instance;  look for it with lxc-ls.
+ 5. Regression potential:  Incorrectly setup autostart containers may no longer start with a fix.  (the /etc/autostart/$name link must be a symbolic link to /var/lib/lxc/$name/config)

  as you can see my output for jenkins is "stopped", but I am logged into
  the system (jenkins) at the very same moment, so it is running. I can
  also do thinks within the virtual machine, but the status doesn't
  change.
  
  
  # lxc-ls --fancy
  NAME       STATE    IPV4  IPV6  AUTOSTART
  -----------------------------------------
  jenkins    STOPPED  -     -     NO
  php-54-32  STOPPED  -     -     NO
  test       STOPPED  -     -     NO
