Hi all,

Host OS: Fedora 21 up-to-date, kernel 3.19.3

Yesterday I tried to create a Fedora container but constantly had the
following errors; while ultimately I could manage to end up with a
working system after running an update once the container was created,
I don't know how much crippled it ended being...

Please check the following errors:
# lxc-create -n F21 -t fedora -B btrfs

>From the errors shown above, I want to add that the first time the
container is created it *always* has exactly the same problems:
1. Problems with fedora-release;
2. Mispell path:
//var/cache/lxc/fedora/x86_64/21/partial/etc/yum.repos.d/* (though
there's no typo in the template file itself).

Let me know if I can be of further assistance to help squash down these bugs.
