[lxc-users] Creating Fedora and Ubuntu containers from inside a container fails (LXC 1.0)

[Kevin Wilson]

Hi,
I am trying to create a container from inside a container and it
fails. I have LXC 1.0 on Fedora 20 (x86_64).

When I try:
lxc-create -n fedoraInContainer -t fedora
I get:
....
  tzdata.noarch 0:2014a-1.fc20                ustr.x86_64
0:1.0.4-15.fc20
  util-linux.x86_64 0:2.24.1-1.fc20           xz-libs.x86_64
0:5.1.2-6alpha.fc20
  yum-metadata-parser.x86_64 0:1.1.4-9.fc20   zlib.x86_64
0:1.2.8-3.fc20

Updated:
  fedora-release.noarch 0:20-3

Failed:
  initscripts.x86_64 0:9.51-1.fc20            iputils.x86_64

Complete!
Failed to download the rootfs, aborting.
Failed to download 'fedora base'

and nothing under /var/lib/lxc

and when I try:
lxc-create -n ubuntuInContainer -t ubuntu

I get:

and nothing again under /var/lib/lxc.


Any ideas ?
