Comment 3 for bug 1180355

Thank you very much for your answer. I tried:

>$ sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu-cloud -n test

With that i get the same error:

>$ sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu-cloud -n test

Doing a wget on the url was the right tip. It resulted in:

>$ wget https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/query/precise/server/released-dl.current.txt

There must be a problem with the certificates. Altough i havn't changed or configured anything in that direction. I tried to modify the /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-ubuntu-cloud script with the --no-check-certificate option on both wget calls but it didn't help. I don't think this is a bug in the lxc package but a bug concerning wget or the certificates. I tried the link from the wget outpuz and the certificate does not seem to exist. Could it be that there is a loadbalancer behind the url and you are getting a different mirror?
