Hi,

I was just running a test during which I noticed my container was
old. So I started to recreate it with autopkgtest-build-lxc in
parallel (like we do on our infrastructure). I was surprised to
noticed that this seems to fail my running test:

autopkgtest [21:28:22]: test check-all-pages-with-mariadb: preparing testbed
<VirtSubproc>: failure: lxc-copy with exit status 124
autopkgtest [21:33:42]: ERROR: testbed failure: cannot send to testbed: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
