[lxc-users] Mount directory with space in the path

[Valerio Mariani]

Dear Tycho,

   thanks. I wanted to test the patch so I started setting up the
environment to compile lxd from source (following the instruction here:

https://github.com/tych0/lxd

Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to do it on vivid 15.04 fully
updated, and with the stable lxd ppa.

When installing the dependencies:

sudo apt-get install lxc lxc-dev mercurial git pkg-config
protobuf-compiler golang-goprotobuf-dev

I get:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 protobuf-compiler : Depends: libprotoc9v5 (=
2.6.1-1.2~ubuntu15.04.1~ppa1) but it is not going to be installed

Thank you for your help

Valerio
