This is odd. On advice from Flockport community I attempted to manually configure the bridge (its basic elements, at least) by entering
    sudo brctl addbr lxcbr0
    sudo ifconfig lxcbr0 10.0.3.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

This went just fine, with `ifconfig` reporting (beyond those interfaces already present in the attached file:
    lxcbr0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 8e:8c:5c:47:3b:bd  
              inet addr:10.0.3.1  Bcast:10.0.3.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
              inet6 addr: fe80::8c8c:5cff:fe47:3bbd/64 Scope:Link
              UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
              RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
              TX packets:35 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
              collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
              RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:3632 (3.6 KB)

Note in particular the `inet addr`, which is the same one `lxc-net.log` claimed couldn't be used. However, recycling `lxc-net` fails, either with:
    server@srv-Ub1404:~$ sudo restart lxc-net
    restart: Job failed to restart
Or
    server@srv-Ub1404:~$ sudo stop lxc-net
    stop: Job failed while stopping
    server@srv-Ub1404:~$ sudo start lxc-net
    lxc-net start/running

In both cases, the bridge is gone from the output of `ifconfig` as a
result. `/var/log/upstart/lxc-net.log` is exactly as it is in the
attached version (complaining about `dnsmasq.conf`, which is
understandable, but also about 10.0.3.1 already being in use).

Title:
  Bridge still not created if bind9 is on

Status in lxc package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This is probably a dup of bug 1240757, created just so I could upload
  the data requested in that bug report.

  On a fresh, probably vanilla, ubuntu 14.04 server, I tried using ubuntu 14.04's default lxc.
  It created containers fine, but they failed to start, complaining
    lxc-start: failed to attach 'veth9HNUS9' to the bridge 'lxcbr0' : No such device
  /var/log/upstart/lxc-net.log says
    dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for 10.0.3.1: Address already in use

  This didn't happen on a desktop 14.04 instance, where bind9 is not
  installed by default.
