The root cause of the problem is not the template. You'll have the
same proble installing on a VM (e.g. using CD image). See
http://askubuntu.com/questions/91815/how-to-install-software-or-upgrade-from-old-unsupported-release

For lxc, the workaround would be to create a new template based on the
old one, with the change mentioned on the link (i.e. ubuntu archive
location)
