Comment 0 for bug 827279

On an up to date Oneiric, I tried to start a virtual machine via libvirt and got:
error: Failed to start domain sec-hardy-amd64
error: Unable to create cgroup for sec-hardy-amd64: No such file or directory

This may or may not be bug #795905, but since I was only playing around with cgroups and don't actually use them, I decided to simply remove the cgroup packages, so I did:
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge libcgroup1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  cgroup-bin* libcgroup1*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 487 kB disk space will be freed.

Errors were encountered while processing:
 cgroup-bin
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I then had to perform the following two times (the first fails similarly as above):
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge cgroup-bin
