[lxc-users] Unprivileged container woes: unable to install packages

[jjs - mainphrame]

Greetings,

I had decided to build an lxd version of an lxc server which had been
running reliably for some time. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be

seen in the lxc container, namely attempting to install a package:

Please pardon me if this is a FAQ as I've been primarily working with
openvz of late - point me to TFM if there is a TFM which would enlighten me
on this subject.
