Bug Description

I was attempting to setup a juju enviroment using lxc as a local enviroment. Trying to install lxc failed with this error..

Setting up lxc (0.7.5-3ubuntu52) ...
start: Job failed to start
invoke-rc.d: initscript lxc-net, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing lxc (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 lxc
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Removing and re-installing doesn't change anything. I attempted to run the script manually, but it doesn't seem to exist?

ls -al /var/dpkg/info/lxc*
/var/lib/dpkg/info/lxc.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/lxc.postrm

Turns out the kernel I am running does not support bridging. Changing the kernel fixes the issue
