  LXC 7 removed support for legacy CGroupsV1 and was recently uploaded
to unstable. This has indirectly caused the debci backend-lxc
autopkgtest to fail[0] because it depends on the deprecated lxc-
templates package.

  I'll be preparing an update for lxc-templates to remove the
unsupported configuration keys, but please be aware that lxc-templates
will very likely be RM'ed during the forky+1 development cycle.

[0] -- autopkgtests for different architectures are still running; it
fails on amd64, but not arm64. Maybe you could consider expanding the
architectures backend-lxc runs on?

  Hmm, maybe this is better reported against src:autopkgtest, as that's
where the actual failure is occurring.

Hi


The title of the bug report is a problem with src:debci, as the test
Depends on lxc-template. The autopkgtest of src:autopkgtest passed with
the new lxc as it doesn't depend on lxc-templates. One of the binaries
of autopgktest only works with lxc-templates installed (it has a run
time check), so that needs fixing. Two bugs it is.

We'd love that, but we only have one architecture that supports qemu.
