[Bug 1452601] Re: vivid container's networking.service fails on boot with signal=PIPE

 

This bug affects gitian-builder when used with lxc. Gitian-builder is
the reproducible build tools used by Bitcoin Core and other projects.
The relevant gitian-builder bug is https://github.com/devrandom/gitian-
builder/issues/95.

I have confirmed this bug with a 15.04 chroot. As you can see from the
gitian-builder issue, GitHub user @droark also experienced the issue
when using 15.04.

The relevant output from my 15.04 chroot:

root@debian:~/gitian-builder# make-clean-vm --suite trusty --arch amd64
sudo: unable to resolve host debian

Title:
  vivid container's networking.service fails on boot with signal=PIPE

Status in lxc package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When starting a Vivid container, it fails to get an IP address.  It
  believes networking.service was successful, but actually it dies with
  SIGPIPE.  Restarting networking.service gets an IP, as expected.

  Starting networking used to work with pre-vivid containers.  I'm
  reasonably sure this fails 100% of the time.  Limited user container,
  very standard setup (no unnecessary config; cgmanager and lxcfs
  installed), btrfs filesystem but not btrfs-backed (as it's limited
  user), ...
