[Bug 1361976] Re: LXC 1.0.5-0ubuntu0 is uninstallable

[Stéphane Graber]

I just checked here and I can install LXC 1.0.5-0ubuntu0.1 and remove it
fine with both apt-get and aptitude.


Looking at the error you're getting, the problem is that you have a /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d script present on your system. That file is typically created by debootstrap or other similar tools to prevent daemon startups in chroot, however the version of the script generated by deboostrap and others is typically valid shell, so I wonder where yours came from.

Anyway, remove /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d and things will start working
again.

Marking the bug as invalid, since it's not an lxc issue and the same
problem will happen with any other package shipping init scripts.

** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Invalid
