Installing upstart-sysv in Unity 8 LXC install script fails

Sorry about that, thought I should do an `ubuntu-bug unity8-lxc` report but since it's a third-party package I can't.

Hey Ads20000,

Yeah, I did reproduce this. However, in order to try to debug this, I did a '--redownload' and then the next time of just trying '--rebuild-config --rebuild-rootfs', it worked.

I'm betting the issue is that I'm trying to install a newer version of upstart-sysv into an older ISO and apt does not like that. Probably the right thing to do here is to cache the upstart-sysv version that was originally downloaded with the ISO and use that if not using '--redownload'. I'll work on this solution.

Thanks again for pointing this out!

Hey Ads20000,

I've fixed up the development version to fix this. However, you'll need to use '--redownload' to fix the fact that your cached ISO and the version of upstart-sysv is out of sync. After doing that this time, then the ISO and upstart-sysv will be cached and unity8-lxc-setup will use both and download new ones if you use '--redownload' in the future.

Thanks again!

Hi Chris,

Thanks for that, that's really useful because I'm on a very slow Internet connection and so sometimes I've downloaded the ISO at different times (since it caches as it downloads) and by the time it's finished downloading there's a new one out and upstart-sysv is out-of-sync. Hopefully it will work this time.

Thank you for working on this! If I can get it working then this is a great way for me and others to help test Ubuntu Next :)

Works perfectly, thanks so much!

This bug was fixed in the package unity8-lxc - 1.0.4+15.10.20150609-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity8-lxc (1.0.4+15.10.20150609-0ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium

  [ Chris Townsend ]
  * Bump version to 1.0.4.
  * Automount /proc to avoid a race when attaching to a container to run
    a command. Also remove the ugly sleep workaround. (LP: #1428848)
  * Cache a copy of upstart-sysv when downloading the Unity 8 Desktop
    Next ISO image. This will keep the ISO and the upstart-sysv package
    in sync. (LP: #1458236)
  * Catch the exception when distro-info-data is outdated during dev
    release transitions. Use the current stable release instead when the
    dev release has not been updated. (LP: #1448521)
  * Terminate the session instead of killing the user when logging out
    of the Unity 8 LXC session. This is much less aggressive and keeps
    ssh sessions alive. (LP: #1456604)
  * Use upstart-sysv in the Unity8 container instead of systemd. This
    fixes a slew of issues when using systemd in the container. (LP:
    #1437900)
