Title:
  upgrade activity failing with "The following packages have unmet
  dependencies: lxd: Unknown dependency error"

Status in Landscape Client:
  Fix Committed
Status in landscape-client package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I have an upgrade activity that is failing with the following error
  message :

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    lxd: Unknown dependency error

  This is on xenial.

  [Impact]  
  In a lot of cases, landscape-client can't update packages on xenial machines if lxd is installed.

  [Test case]
  Register a fresh xenial machine with landscape.canonical.com. (Install landscape-client and run 'sudo landscape-config'). After the registration is done, go to Landscape, accept the pending computer and wait for package information to sync. Without the fix, there should be an upgrade for lxd and lxd-client available to the version that is in xenial-backports. With the patch, there won't be any upgrade available.

  [Regression potnentials]
  Users won't be able to install packages from backports. This is OK, though, since Landscape doesn't support that officially.
