[pkg-lxc-devel] Bug#847894: lxc: powerpc jessie container and jessie-backports

[Santiago]

Package: lxc
Version: 1:2.0.6-1~bpo8+1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am trying to create a jessie container on a powerpc machine, using
jessie-backports lxc packages, but I got this error:

% sudo -E lxc-create -n test -t debian -- -r jessie
debootstrap is /usr/sbin/debootstrap
Checking cache download in /var/cache/lxc/debian/rootfs-jessie-ppc ...
Downloading debian minimal ...

I: Valid Release signature (key id 75DDC3C4A499F1A18CB5F3C8CBF8D6FD518E17E1)
E: Invalid Release file, no entry for main/binary-ppc/Packages
Failed to download the rootfs, aborting.
Failed to download 'debian base'
failed to install debian
lxc-create: lxccontainer.c: create_run_template: 1290 container creation template for test failed
lxc-create: tools/lxc_create.c: main: 318 Error creating container test

The attached patch fixes this, correcting the architecture "name" in the
URL path.

lxc is now able to create the container but it fails to start. However
that's another bug.

Cheers,
