[lxc-users] no lxc nor lxd containers start after recent update

[Tomasz Chmielewski]

None of my lxc nor lxd container start after the most recent lxc/lxd 
update.

Any clues?

# lxc-start -n td-backupslave
lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 344 The container failed to start.
lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 346 To get more details, run the container 
in foreground mode.
lxc-start: lxc_start.c: main: 348 Additional information can be obtained 
by setting the --logfile and --logpriority options.
