Comment 2 for bug 1512782

I looked through the 1.25 details, and I think the wget cert issues may be a red herring. When juju creates containers, it creates a wrapped wget command that specifies cert details, sticks it in tmp and puts it in the path for the lxc-create command. You'll see something like this in the output:

+ type wget
wget is /tmp/wget531732860/wget

I see in the output from your test lxc-create the following:
+ type wget
wget is /usr/bin/wget

Whatever the tmp dir is that has the wrapped wget is not in your path, and wouldn't be picked up.

If you can recreate, can you set the logging level to TRACE (juju set-env logging-config="<root>=TRACE") and attach the following:
- machine logs for state server and the machine hosting lxc containers
- the contents of /var/lib/juju/containers/* on the hosting machine
