[lxc-users] lxc file push garbling existing file

Wed Apr 6 20:51:12 UTC 2016

Really sorry to be a pain but I am confused...

I ran:

sudo apt-get install lxd
sudo apt-get install lxc

When I run an `apt-cache policy` they both seem to be running the latest
and greatest respective 2.0 rc versions.

However, when I run `sudo lxc --version` I still see 0.19, even though
`sudo lxd --version` shows the rc8 as I expected.

Also, I run `sudo lxc list` and I get the error message:

     error: Response was missing `api_compat`

I did notice a big warning message that popped up when installing lxd, not
sure if it's related?
