package lxc 1.0.7-0ubuntu0.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

Took a very long time to come of lxc instalation which I tried to do via 'apt-get install lxc'. Finally it failed.

Thanks for reporting this bug.

From the dpkgterminallog:

/usr/sbin/service: 118: /usr/sbin/service: Cannot fork

That sounds like a bigger problem than lxc. I don't see anything in the syslog pointing to a kernel fault though.

Have you seen any more problems (related to lxc or otherwise) since that?
