[pkg-lxc-devel] Bug#875602: lxc-execute is broken due to init.lxc.static not being static

[Lauri Tirkkonen]

Package: lxc
Version: 1:2.0.7-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

/usr/sbin/init.lxc.static is not a statically linked executable. So,
depending on the the contents of the rootfs of the container being used,
it may fail to run. For example, consider a 'wheezy' container running
on stretch:

# lxc-create -t debian -n wheezy -- -r wheezy
[output omitted]
# lxc-execute -n wheezy true                                               
/init.lxc.static: error while loading shared libraries: libcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This seems to be an upstream issue that was fixed in
https://github.com/lxc/lxc/commit/d04813f9b5d287dd49520f5afa8a9f6ce6378b09
- could you please backport this patch?
