Hi Serge,

I added an additional wants=fuse.service in the lxc.service unit but 
that has no impact, the error message remains. Though I would expect 
that as I don't have fuse installed. Is that a new requirement for LXC?

Anyway, as for my problem, it turns out that the systemd 
lxc-auto.service was not enabled. I must have disabled it at some point, 
maybe for testing purposes, forgetting to re-enable it. Except for these 
error logs, and an lxc-console problem described in 
https://github.com/lxc/lxc/issues/520, it seems to work.
