[Bug 1033412] Re: package lxc 0.7.5-3ubuntu60 failed to install/upgrade: unable to install new version of `/usr/lib/lxc/liblxc.so.0.7.5': Device or resource busy

[Stéphane Graber]

Moving the bug to dpkg as lxc isn't doing anything weird that'd explain this.
Replacing a file currently in use is perfectly possible on Linux and shouldn't cause that error.

** Package changed: lxc (Ubuntu) => dpkg (Ubuntu)

Title:
  package lxc 0.7.5-3ubuntu60 failed to install/upgrade: unable to
  install new version of `/usr/lib/lxc/liblxc.so.0.7.5': Device or
  resource busy

Status in “lxc” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Had been using lxc on a laptop. Nothing unusual - basic LXC
  experiments, created and removed several containers. Suspended and
  resumed the laptop at least 5 times between last using lxc and the lxc
  upgrade.

  Perhaps one or more containers is still active?
