When I use the ps command's "lxc" format specifier, for example:

ps -eo pid,lxc,command

The second output column is supposed to show "the name of the lxc container within which a task is running. If a process is not running inside a container, a dash ('-') will be shown." [1]

This worked fine until I upgraded from ubuntu 19.04 to 19.10. Now, that column always contains a dash instead of the container name, even for processes that are running inside a container. The "lxc" format specifier seems to be broken now.
